Developing the next generation for governance roles
The College Board of Governors, through the Alumnae Office, is implementing an Associate Governor programme which commenced in 2023.
This is a programme, open to young, Wellington based Old Girls who have graduated from Year 13 within the last 10 years.
It’s an opportunity to participate and contribute to QMC Board meetings over a 24-month term and to be mentored by highly skilled and experienced current board members.
Associate Governors would have no voting rights and would not form part of any quorums – the programme it is intended as a learning and development opportunity.
Why are we doing this?
- To bring a fresh perspective and insights into the QMC boardroom and tap into the skill sets of a generation that does things differently
- To develop next generation governors who have the opportunity to learn from the best
- Develop and foster our new alumna capability and talent to improve governance levels in tomorrow’s boardrooms, and connectedness with past students
- Help address the experience gap faced by skilled younger professionals seeking to move into senior corporate governance roles
- Increased diversity of skillset and demographics across the board.
