2. About us 2 World’s largest director institute
More than 43,000 members (4,300+ in WA)
International membership based in more than 75 countries
Committed to providing excellence in governance through education and advocacy
I know many of you are familiar with who we are & are members yourselves.
But for those who aren’t quite as familiar with what we do Ill start off with an overview of the AICD
We are now the largest director institute in the world with over 43,000 (fast approaching 44K) members, and growing both here and overseas. We have over 4,300 members based here in WA (7% of those based in regional WA)
We are committed to being world leaders in corporate governance education, and to provide a voice for directors / business owners. 2

3. AICD Mission
To be the independent and trusted voice of governance, building the capability of a community of leaders for the benefit of society.
The core of AICD’s strategy:
The benchmark in governance insights and knowledge
Products & services that support member and client needs and build capability
Platforms that engage Australia’s largest and most diverse community of directors
[Peter] good to highlight mission and core strategy points 3

4. Who our (4,317) members are:
Here is a snap shot of our members here in WA (4,317) – might be some surprises here:
Private (in particular) SME and NFP make up the majority of our members – which is consistent with the rest of the country
More than 2/3rds members active in or support the NFP Community
We have been working hard to increase not only diversity in the boardroom, but also diversity of our membership. 4

5. Our Regions Mid West Goldfields Esperance South West Great Southern
Expanding footprint into North West in 2019
Snap shot of our regional members.
We have four key regional areas
All with established Committees.
We rely on our committees to be the voice of our regional members and help us roll out our regional strategy
The member numbers are low – making up just over 7% of our WA membership.
But even though numbers are small, the needs are just as great so we are putting a lot of focus into how we better support and grow our regional members. 5

6. Why good governance matters?6

7. Bombers report finds governance failures. May 6, 2013
If the culture of the cricket team stinks, it’s a governance issue. 27 March 2018
[Peter, in your own words if you prefer – this slide is to highlight current spot light on corporate governance, and the inevitable flow on effect to all business. Few points below]
Particularly with the royal commission, governance has never been in the spotlight more than it is now.
No doubt there will be a flow on effect from the commission which will flow through all businesses.
Whether you run a small business / work in a NFP, government, public organisation ignorance is no longer bliss.
Good governance knowledge and practice is imperative, particularly in regional areas for the community to thrive 7
