Excellence in Canadian Board Governance at WIB-Montreal

WIB-Greater Montreal's Excellence in Canadian Board Governance (ECBG) Program  is a collaboration with the McGill Executive Institute. This professional development program on Board Governance accelerates the process in building diversity in the boardroom by increasing board leadership opportunities for women (C-suite/Senior Executives/Founders) in Canada’s life science and biotechnology sectors.

Excellence in Canadian Board Governance (ECBG) builds the skills that board members need to be effective by deciphering the growing complexities of board responsibilities and governance issues and delineating a framework for refined decision-making. The result is a direct pipeline of prospective life science directors with an in-depth knowledge of board governance, primed for rapid onboarding.
