Fellowship Committee

Fellowship Committee

The Institute awards the title Fellow of ECGI to individuals who have demonstrated scientific excellence or other outstanding achievements in the area of corporate governance.

    Membership of the Fellowship Committee is by rotation. Every two years, after each fellowship election, two Committee members, one of whom is the current Chairman, stand down.  Their replacements are nominated by the outgoing Committee Chairman for ratification by the ECGI Board which also sets the rules governing the nomination of new Fellows.

    The Nomination Process

    The Nomination and Election Process


    The Fellowship Committee oversees the nomination of new Fellows as follows:

    • The Committee presents a group of eligible candidates for consideration.
    • All current Fellows are invited to suggest a maximum of four names for new Fellows. They may select names from the list provided or add others.
    • The collected nominations are then circulated for a second round of voting.
    • All current Fellows are then asked to nominate 6 from the second round shortlist by a certain date.
    • The Committee then selects the nominees that received the most votes. They have discretion over the number of appointments which in the past has been 5 each two years. The names are put forward to the Board for ratification.
    • Successful candidates are then invited by letter signed by the Committee Chair and the ECGI Chair to become an ECGI Fellow.
    • On acceptance, the new Fellows automatically become Research Members of the Institute if they are not already.
    • The names of the new Fellows are announced at the following General Assembly.
