Welcome to The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland, Yorkshire and Humber branch. We provide support to the Institute's members and students in the Yorkshire area. This includes North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

ICSA: The Governance Institute has today announced that it has changed its name to become The Chartered Governance Institute, a move which mirrors the change in name of the international professional body of which it is a division.

From a visit to Uganda and Kenya, the Institute’s CEO Linda Ford reflects on how governance professionals are connecting across borders, and why strong governance must come before AI. Meetings with members, graduates and business leaders underline a shared purpose, and a growing recognition of governance as a strategic discipline in an increasingly complex world.

On Friday 5th January, Sara Drake, CEO of CGIUKI wrote to Bim Afolami MP, the Treasury Minister, urging him to call an emergency meeting to review the UK's delisting problem.

On 6 March 2024, Jeremy Hunt will deliver the Spring Budget, the last anticipated fiscal event before a general election later this year.

Sara Drake will step down to focus on her non-executive roles and other projects.

Uncertainty has brought governance into the foreground. Experience from Mauritius and the UK shows why strong governance, built on professional capability and leadership, is essential to trust, confidence and long-term success.

Over the past six years I have had the extraordinary privilege of guiding the Institute as Chief Executive. Now I am stepping down, I can reflect on what a period of profound change it has been.
