Christiane Molina, Director of the Conscious Enterprise Center at EGADE Business School, was appointed as a newly created PRME Global Chapter Council member.

Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is an initiative backed by the United Nations Global Compact. It involves almost 800 business schools from around the world to provide future leaders with the mindset and tools they need to promote sustainable development.

The members of the Global Chapter Council are:

• Christiane Molina, Director of the Conscious Enterprise Center, EGADE Business School (Mexico).
• Morris Mthombeni, Interim Dean, Gordon Institute of Business Science (South Africa).
• Dima Jamali, Dean, College of Business Administration, University of Sharjah (UAE).
• Alec Wersun, Senior Lecturer, Glasgow School for Business and Society (UK).

Mette Morsing, Global Head of PRME, formally introduced the new Global Chapter Council members in the 2021 Virtual PRME Global Forum.

The purpose of the Global Chapter Council will be to drive the development and impact of the PRME Regional Chapters worldwide and act in an advisory capacity to the  PRME Secretariat.

“Our role includes supporting the creation of new chapters and strengthening and growing existing ones. We are currently working on management and strategic planning guides for the chapters, which will be our largest project in 2021,” Molina commented in an interview.

The members of the Global Chapter Council were appointed by the PRME Secretariat in consultation with Chapter Chairs and will serve for a term of three years, with a possible extension for another three years.

“My appointment to the Global Chapter Council will give representation not only to EGADE, but also to all higher education institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean, allowing us to expose elements of our context that are particular to the region and the challenges that our institutions face during the process of integrating the 2030 agenda,” said Molina.
