ICD Achieves Gender Parity in the Boardroom

“Inclusion and diversity are at risk in the crisis – but are critical for business recovery, resilience, and reimagination.”

Last 19 June 2020, ICD conducted its Annual General Membership Meeting (AGMM) through Zoom Webinar. The results of the elections paved way to greater heights for ICD by walking the talk of attaining a diverse board and having 50% women directors. A milestone for the Institute that hopefully other companies will embody in navigating unchartered waters. The Trustees of ICD are committed to strengthen the advocacy and ensure the organization’s sustainability:

1. Mr. Rex C. Drilon II, Chairman

2. Ms. Sherisa P. Nuesa, Vice-Chair and President

3. Ms. Ma. Aurora Geotina-Garcia, Treasurer

4. Atty. Benedicta Du-Baladad (newly elected)

5. Ms. Maria Victoria C. Españo (newly elected)

9. Mr. Vaughn F. Montes (newly elected)

10. Mr. Alfredo E. Pascual

11. Ms. Imelda Ceniza Tiongson

12. Atty. Cesar L. Villanueva

The Institute’s trustees, management team, members, and other stakeholders also witnessed how the organization stayed connected amidst strategic shifts and crises. Other highlights:

• Mr. Francis G. Estrada (outgoing ICD Chairman) delivered a speech entitled The Year that Was which encapsulated global events, the new normal and ICD’s role in fulfilling its vision.
