The Worshipful Company of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (WCCSA) invites you, as members of the Financial Services Group of Liveries, to attend the Company’s annual Sylvia Tutt memorial lecture, this year the title of which is ‘Achieving balance: good governance and growth’. It will be presented by Head of Davis Polk’s Europe practice, Will Pearce, Tuesday 25th March 19:00 in the splendid surroundings of Stationer’s Hall, Ave Maria Lane, City of London, London EC4M 7DD, followed by drinks and canapés to which all are invited.
The lecture will also be preceded by the launch of the WCCSA’s joint research report with Leeds Beckett ‘The Importance of Values for Governance’ at 1700. In 2022 the WCCSA initiated a research project to find out how major organisations in different sectors were determining and living by their values and how this affected their governance. The research was undertaken by Leeds Beckett University and involved a number of organisations from different sectors. The research process has already provoked actions. The findings, which are relevant to governance professionals and leaders in a wide range of organisations, identify ways in which an awareness of values can improve governance and the performance of, and trust in, organisations. Details of the methodology will be shared with participants to use in their own organisations.
You are welcome to attend either or both parts of the evening. There is no charge for attendance but participants are asked to register at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/wccsa/1599067.
The event is in-person and will not be live-streamed.
