Our Global eCommunity
To our eCommunity members and the wider governance community,
In the last few years all organisations have had to adapt to the many unprecedented challenges the world has had to face. Consistent with this we have noticed amongst our audience that things have once again evolved, especially post-pandemic. As such, CGI Global thinks that you, our eCommunity followers and others, would be better served by engaging with the platforms and other e-communities of your local Division of The Chartered Governance Institute.
Since our re-brand and launch of a global community networking space at the tail-end of 2019, you have been instrumental in contributing 850+ individual discussion posts across 180+ conversational threads via our eCommunity; over 10,000 of you attended 9 global webinars on the most prevalent topics in industry; and you’ve engaged as part of an established LinkedIn following, promoting and supporting the Institute, its exceptional Divisions, and of course your fellow peers in governance. In doing all of this, you have shared knowledge and connected with professionals around the world, most notably at a time when digital communities were the key means of interaction for many. For all that you have contributed to these platforms, the discussions, and your fellow professionals, we thank you.
Over the last few years, the way that people have interacted has fluctuated greatly, and as such we must continue to evolve with that. As a result of our continuing endeavour to ensure that you are equipped with the most up-to-date information and topical knowledge, it is from this point onwards that we invite you to connect with your local Institute as your primary knowledge hub, a full list of which can be found below.
Once again, we’d like to thank you for your participation in our various global platforms, and we look forward to engaging with you further, and more directly, through more local channels.
The Chartered Governance Institute.
As per the above message, we think you’ll benefit greatly from connecting with your local Division of The Chartered Governance Institute. Below, you can find links either to the Division’s website, or to their LinkedIn community pages where you can continue to connect with your fellow governance professionals at a local level!

eCommunity
When will the eCommunity close?
The eCommunity site will be fully shutdown at 17:00 BST on Friday 16th August 2024.
Do I need to do anything?
No, the shutdown of the eCommunity will happen in the background over the course of the next few weeks, so you shouldn’t notice any changes whilst that’s ongoing. If you should have any private message conversations with any eCommunity Connections that you may wish to keep a record of, then we strongly recommend that you log in and save this information yourself as you will not be able to access the site following 17:00 BST on the 16th August.

With regards to your data gathered as part of your sign-up to the eCommunity, this user data will be exported from the site once it has been shutdown.
HigherLogic (the platform with whom the eCommunity is hosted) does not retain any product data and sites are usually deleted within 30 days of termination.
