**NEW DATES 2-6 DECEMBER****(each stream is 3 days with the additional Educational Day on 5 December 2024)

 

The Cayman Islands Directors Association (“CIDA”) are pleased to announce that they will be running the Directors Accreditation Course again this year. It is run in conjunction with the Chartered Governance Institute of Canada (“CGIC”) (formerly Institute of Chartered Secretaries Canada), with the instructors presenting in person here in the Cayman Islands. The course will run from 9 am to 5 pm each day.

 

The course materials will be available in advance of the course so that the attendee can prepare for the three days of interactive in-person sessions. Upon successful completion of the course, the attendee will be able to use the letters “Acc. Dir.” for Accredited Director after their name. The course is aimed at providing further education to Directors in the field of corporate governance and is of benefit to experienced directors and those wishing to gain further insight into corporate governance.

This year’s course will be held at Hotel Indigo from the **NEW DATES 2–6 December 2024. The Educational day (5 December) will also be held at Hotel Indigo and will consist of presentations on key industry topics by local presenters and will be open to the wider CIDA membership.
