Chartered Director Program
The Caribbean Governance Training Institute’s Chartered Director Program (C.Dir. Program) is an essential resource for Board Members of Caribbean organizations who want to grasp the nuances of Caribbean Organization governance.
Accordingly, our C.Dir. Program is a dynamic curriculum focusing on the modern 21st Century role that Caribbean Board members need to understand and play in driving and sustaining the success of their Caribbean Organisations.
The program uniquely provides Caribbean Board members with the six key governance principles required for effectively executing their organisation’s strategy, developing senior talent, and enhancing their organisation’s performance over the long term.
Our Chartered Director Program is especially characterized by its candid, off-the-record discussions in a highly interactive forum with board members and senior C-suite executives who are leading Caribbean Organizations through major opportunities, and real-world challenges.
Through this process, participants are acquainted with their governance options, leading edge strategies, the five major governance frameworks, and a myriad of best practices for making crucial Board decisions in an ever-changing environment.
An additional important outcome for our participants, however, is the development of a strong network of similarly trained peers.
Once you have completed the program and “graduated”, you will have access to a large cadre of Caribbean organisation “governors” to whom you can turn for wise advice and counsel.
You will do so because you know that, as fellow graduates, they share a similar understanding of the duties, roles, responsibilities and behaviours required to effectively confront contemporary governance issues.
