HKCAAVQ Council Member Edith Shih wins the Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS) Prize 2019
Ms Edith Shih FCG(CS, CGP) FCS(CS, CGP)(PE) International President, The Chartered Governance Institute (CGI), and former HKICS President, was awarded the Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS) Prize 2019.
Ms Shih is currently Executive Director and Company Secretary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, and also Deputy Chair of the HKCAAVQ Finance Committee and Member of the HKCAAVQ Council. She was the first female International President of the CGI from Asia and the first President from Hong Kong. Edith’s involvement with CGI provides a link between the CGI and HKICS, and has been important for the repositioning exercise. That led to the launch of the Chartered Governance Professional qualification, change of the name of Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) to CGI and most recently the launch of the new qualifying programme – the Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme.
