DIRECTORS’ EDUCATION & ACCREDITATION PROGRAMME (DEAP)
The Directors’ Education and Accreditation Programme (DEAP) is an advanced director training course, aimed at preparing directors for the important role that they play in the governance of corporations. The DEAP was developed by the Chartered Governance Institute of Canada (CGIC), in partnership with the law firm of Borden Ladner Gervais, and with contributions from AON Canada.
The DEAP has been offered in the Caribbean since June 2007, by the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange Limited (ECSE), in collaboration with the CGIC, as a part of the ECSE’s efforts to promote good corporate governance standards in the Caribbean. The ECSE offers the DEAP several times each year, in person across the region, or online.
Registration in the programme is open to all directors, corporate secretaries, CEOs, and other senior executives of public and private companies, as well as public sector (statutory) corporations. Legal practitioners, accountants, corporate secretaries, and other professional corporate advisers, as well as persons aspiring to directorships are also invited to participate.
