RODNEY BAY, St Lucia – An unprecedented collaboration has been agreed between the Caribbean Association of Banks Inc (CAB)., and the Caribbean Governance Training Institute (CGTI), aimed at strengthening the Caribbean banking industry through the provision of comprehensive good governance training.
As the number one governance training and certification institute in the Caribbean region, CGTI will now become the exclusive governance training provider for CAB, offering its unique suite of internationally recognized courses to the 81 bank members of the CAB.
In another first, the full range of CGTI’s governance courses will be hosted and delivered completely online by CGTI faculty, and scheduled around the busy careers of those participating in its various programs, including chartered director, audit committee, human relations committee and risk committee certifications, effective chairmanship, financial literacy, and strategic oversight.
The Caribbean Association of Banks Inc., was formed in 1974. Almost five decades later, in partnering with the Caribbean Governance Training Institute to educate its members about 21st-century governance best practices, CAB Inc., is achieving its vision and mission of becoming “the collective voice that protects, promotes and strengthens the regional banking sector … proactively influencing matters of interest to financial institutions through advocacy and education.”
Wendy Delmar, chief executive officer of CAB Inc., stated that “this is a particularly auspicious time for us to be entering into a partnership of this nature, as the Caribbean banking sector is going from strength to strength at the moment. This collaboration enables CAB to help further empower directors, managers, and executives across the region, upskilling our member organisations and helping them become more efficient and more profitable.”
According to CGTI: “We are delighted to be selected as the CAB’s governance trainer of choice. We look forward to a long relationship similar to the ones we have forged with such notable organizations as the governments of Saint Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda, Sandals Resorts International and the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank.
