Notice for our AAICD Members
At the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), we recognise the value that comes from the ability to use the post nominals we issue to our members. We are currently looking at ways to improve how we acknowledge our members for their dedication and commitment to excellence in governance and continued professional development with us.
During this period of review, if you are a financial Affiliate Member (AAICD) who has successfully completed the Company Director Course assessment, you may be eligible to be upgraded to the Graduate Member grade and be issued with the GAICD post nominal. This upgrade may occur irrespective of whether you meet the career experience outlined in the Graduate Member By-Law criteria.
We encourage you to contact your local Member & Directors Executives if you have any further queries or concerns.
Please continue to check our website for updates regarding your membership and events in your state.
