Local Chapters

GPC Local Chapter Network

Working as a governance professional can often be an isolating experience. That’s why our Canada-wide network of local chapter communities gives GPC members access to other governance professionals right in their own city or province!

Local chapters offer a unique opportunity to form much deeper connections and network with other members in the local area.

Local Chapters plan fun and informative sessions thorough out the year and are managed by a dedicated group of volunteers through GPC Local Chapter Committees.

If you would like to join a local Chapter Committee or create your own local chapter, please contact [email protected].
