Sara Bourne, ICSA Guernsey Branch Chair, commented: “Good governance benefits companies throughout the globe, by establishing a framework of processes and attitudes that add value to the business, help to build reputation and can ensure long-term continuity and success. Governance professionals who support and advise the boards of organisations, large and small, across all sectors and in all industries, have never been more in demand or relevant than they are today. It is wonderful that we are able to recognise the achievements of members and students in such a visible way and I am grateful to our sponsors Board Intelligence, Brainloop, Intertrust Group and Perivan for their support.”
