My Vision is to: Increase visibility of the Institute • Through regular press engagements on matters of governance that are of public interest. • By Increasing IoDZ membership on Board appointments by targeting professional bodies where most board representations come. For public institutions Board representation is provided for in the law so we know which professional bodies to engage for increased membership way before their members are appointed. Through the membership Committee, we will advocate for a membership strategy around this area. Improve Image of the Institute • IoDZ should set a good example in ethical matters. • Through the relevant committee, we shall ensure the disciplinary code is enforced on Ethical conduct not only for serving members but also general membership. Streamline and modernize Training • through acceleration of syllabus/curriculum development for Corporate Governance Course. • Modernizing syllabus by incorporating AI-powered Technologies such as machine learning, and Natural Language Processing (NLP).
