Maura Quinn CDir, Chief Executive, Institute of Directors (IoD) in Ireland, commented:
“It is important for organisations to maintain the highest standards of good governance. Further education and continuous professional development play a key role in applying such standards, so I offer my congratulations to all who successfully completed their Certificate and Diploma in Company Direction. The Certificate and Diploma in Company Direction are important qualifications in their own right and also key milestones that enable the recipients to proceed on their journey to become Chartered Directors. The IoD Chartered Director Programme offers a formalised qualification for directors and strategic business leaders, and ensures they have the most up to date learnings for the role and responsibilities of being a director. It is the gold standard of director training. IoD is the only body in Ireland that provides the full designation and recognition as a professional Chartered Director (CDir).”
Maura Quinn CDir added:
“I am delighted, too, to present the second annual Tom Byrne Award to Tom Loughman. The Award recognises excellence in academic achievement as well as individual participation in, contribution to, and engagement with the Chartered Director Programme.”
