Board secretaries have an important role to play as governance professionals in all types of organizations in the private, public, and non- profit sectors. Governance is about more than just complying with laws, regulations, standards, and codes; it is also about creating cultures of good practice. This means that board secretaries need more than the technical skills and experience to know what corporate governance practices are needed in an organization and why. They also need the emotional intelligence skills, and experience to ensure that they know how the practices typically would be implemented to work effectively.
