Townsville Ideas Exchange: Chairs, CEOs & CoSecs

Join us for an engaging exploration of the essential relationship between the Chair, CEO and Company Secretary, the “holy trinity” at the heart of effective governance.

This Ideas Exchange Forum will unpack how clarity of roles, strategic alignment and professional trust within this trio can enhance decision-making, oversight and culture in today’s boardrooms. Through keynote insights, real-world scenarios and interactive discussion, we’ll navigate the tensions and define how to transition to good governance looks like. This session is essential for directors, executives and governance professionals committed to building high-performance board relationships.

The event will include an opportunity to network with your governance and risk management peers over a light dinner and drink, and a chance to connect with Governance Institute’s State Manager in Queensland, Dave Schenk.
