This historic change for the 125 years' old institute reflects and embraces how 
their global membership of governance professionals has evolved over the past 
decade. The ethos and new visual identity encompasses a wider remit to support 
and qualify chartered secretaries, governance advisers, risk and compliance 
managers, non-executive directors - anyone who takes on governance 
responsibilities in increasingly regulated and risk conscious societies. 

The new name positions the Institute as the membership organisation for anyone 
involved in governance, and is the only institute focused on governance that is 
Chartered.   

The Institute has an overarching global governing body, referred to as CGI 
Global, and nine divisions based internationally across Australia, Canada, 
United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and Associated Territories, New Zealand, 
Hong Kong and Mainland China, Southern Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, and 
Zimbabwe.

Collectively, The Chartered Governance Institute is the only international 
organisation that can offer a qualification that empowers a person with skills 
that transcend borders. The organisation facilitates the international movement 
of governance professionals and their ideas, ensuring member portability. The 
Chartered Governance Institute sets the standard of the profession globally and 
defines the future of good governance.

The Chartered Governance Institute is launching a new global governance 
eCommunity at cgiglobal.org that will underscore its unique capacity to be the 
go-to destination for anyone involved in governance. 

The Chartered Governance Institute supports over 29,000 members living and 
working in over 80 countries through professional governance qualifying and 
training programmes.

comments, "Our vision is to be the leader in the practice of governance around 
the world. Our mission is to become the shining beacon in governance. We will 
be the best advocates, the best educators and the most active organisation in 
the promotion of good governance globally."
