Pacific Board Governance (PBG) invites senior leaders from government ministries, state‑owned enterprises, statutory bodies, and private‑sector organisations from across the Pacific to register for the Pacific Islands Board Governance Workshop, a three‑day intensive program designed to strengthen governance capability and support high‑performing institutions across the region.
The workshop will be held from 23–25 November 2026 at the Hilton Fiji Beach Resort & Spa and will be an interactive program discussing best practices in good governance, contemporary governance issues and realistic Pacific case studies.
Why This Workshop Matters for Public & Private Sector Leaders?
Pacific institutions face increasing expectations for transparency, accountability, strategic oversight, and ethical leadership. This program directly supports those priorities by strengthening:
- Board and executive alignment
- Legal and fiduciary compliance
- Strategic decision‑making and risk governance
- Financial literacy and oversight
- Stakeholder engagement and organisational integrity
Three-day program will be delivered by internationally accredited facilitators whose combined expertise ensures the workshop is grounded in Pacific realities, global standards, and practical governance application. The program is designed for Permanent Secretaries and senior ministry officials, State Owned Enterprise board members, CEOs, CFOs and executive leaders, Directors and senior leaders of private‑sector companies, Regulatory bodies and statutory authorities and Public enterprise units and governance oversight teams
This program structure ensures leaders gain a balanced understanding of governance fundamentals, strategic oversight, and financial stewardship with core competencies for public institutions and commercial entities alike.
