The Directors College is an executive program of the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University. The college was created in 2003 to deliver Canada's first university accredited corporate director development program. Our curriculum, based on Canada's principle-based governance approach, is distinguished by its strong focus on developing transformative board directors, capable and committed to creating value. Our programs are built on three pillars: Forward Thinking [Know], Values-driven [Be] and Change Enabling [Do].• We will emphasize a forward thinking governance agenda in our activities to be shaped by the Thought Leadership work of DeGroote School of Business, our faculty and corporate partners.• We will ensure that our activities provide a values-driven experience for our program delegates that align with the principles set out in our Code of Conduct.• We will endeavour to help our delegates develop the change-enabling behaviours needed to put what is learned in the classroom, into practice, in the boardroom."The Director's College Code is not another prescriptive list for what to do or avoid doing. It is rather designed to work back from the needs, expectations, and principles of stakeholders, to help directors engage issues with a clear understanding for getting to resolutions or decisions that are inherently trustworthy as well as effective." – John Dalla Costa, founding Director, Centre for Ethical Orientation & Faculty of The Directors College
