Forty-seven business owners and executives graduated from the 2019 Board of Directors Executive Program, in Monterrey.

This EGADExEd program seeks to hone board members’ knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, so their organizations can thrive in a globalized business environment characterized by a high degree of competitive turbulence.

Up to 2018, 399 participants from diverse Mexican states, such as Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Veracruz, Guadalajara, among others, have completed the program.

This occasion marked the graduation of the twelfth generation, whose members received their certificates in a ceremony presided over by Ignacio de la Vega, Dean of EGADE Business School; Jaime García Narro, Associate Dean of Executive Education; Carlos Serrano, Executive Director of the Board of Directors Executive Program; and Osmar Zavaleta, Director of the EGADE Business School Monterrey site.

“I should like to acknowledge your effort and commitment in ‘acquiring’ knowledge that benefits your companies, the business fabric and the country in times of enormous challenges and change; the fundamental task of a board is to guarantee business governance and serve as a model for society,” expressed De la Vega, during the ceremony held at Club Industrial de Monterrey.

The EGADExEd Board of Directors Executive Program provides superior tools, procedures and structures for the functioning of this important collegial body, while strengthening specific competencies for leadership and the strategic vision to design the organization’s sustainable growth.

The program is offered at the Monterrey, Mexico City and Guadalajara sites, in ten-hour monthly sessions over two intensive days (100 hours in total), with conferences, panels and case discussions, given by world-renowned academics and consolidated business leaders who are widely experienced in corporate boards of directors.
