Ateliers rigoureux en gouvernance (in French)

La formation de La Gouvernance au Féminin concerne tant les enjeux fondamentaux que les défis d’actualité en gouvernance. Elle s’adresse à toute personne qui souhaite approfondir ses connaissances sur le fonctionnement des conseils d’administration, ou encore qui œuvre ou aspire à œuvrer dans des fonctions exécutives. Offerte en mode hybride pour permettre flexibilité et réseautage, elle a été développée conjointement avec l’Institut sur la gouvernance d’organisations privées et publiques (IGOPP). Merci à la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, partenaire présentateur.
