Recipients will be officially recognized and celebrated during the 2023 ICD National Director Conference & Fellowship Awards Gala in Montreal on June 14
TORONTO, Jan. 19, 2023 /CNW/ - The Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) announced four senior corporate governance leaders as recipients of the 2023 ICD Fellowship Award. Established in 1997, the prestigious ICD Fellowship designation (F.ICD) recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions and leadership in serving on boards of Canadian enterprises and not-for-profit organizations.
"Being on a board is harder today than almost any time in Canada's modern history. It takes more work. Directors must be prepared for a host of issues that as little as two years ago were marginal but are now central to the company's strategy and purpose," says Rahul Bhardwaj, President and CEO. "This year's inductees embody the excellence, integrity and leadership in Canadian boardrooms to position their organizations for success."
Nominated by their peers, the inductees are reviewed by a Selection Committee that includes highly respected individuals from Canada's director community. In addition to demonstrated leadership on the boards they serve, other contributions to excellence in governance are considered, such as thought leadership, education and mentorship activities.
To date, 101 directors across Canada have received this award, including this year's recipients. The awards will be presented at the Fellowship Awards Gala on June 14 in Montreal as part of the 2023 ICD National Director Conference.
