Session on Good Governance for Non-Profit Catholic Universities

Ateneo de Manila University is set to conduct a Basic Orientation on Good Governance for its Board of Trustees and senior leadership on Saturday, 29 June 2024. Led by Vincent E.R. Festin, the session aims to introduce and reinforce governance standards tailored to the university's unique context. This event, accredited by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will also see participation from members of the board of trustees and board committees of Ateneo de Naga and Ateneo de Zamboanga, unifying governance standards across these institutions. Participants will receive certificates of attendance from the Ateneo Graduate School of Business Center for Continuing Education (AGSB-CCE).

The orientation will cover key topics such as the history and definitions of good governance, basic concepts differentiating governance from management, and trends in governance, including sustainability and enterprise risk management. Designed to be interactive, the session will last 2.5 to 3 hours, engaging attendees through various tools and media. By the end of the orientation, participants are expected to review and enhance Ateneo’s governance systems, ensuring long-term success and accountability.
