“Practical skills and applied knowledge in governance have never been more valued by organisations and government departments worldwide. For many, these skills can pave the way to a career as a senior governance professional, senior manager or a board director”, said Tim Sheehy, Chief Executive of Governance Institute of Australia.
“As trustees of the Chant Legacy Scholarship, we are pleased to be able to encourage outstanding individuals to further their professional qualifications and careers in governance.”
Scholarship applications will be judged and awarded by an independent committee of widely respected governance professionals including the director of the UTS Centre for Corporate Governance, Professor Thomas Clarke, Julie Hare, higher education editor at The Australian and Governance Institute board member, Douglas Gration.
