MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR
Welcome to the 19th annual ICD Fellowship Awards Gala.
Tonight we are honouring Edward Barrett, Robert Prichard,
Mac Van Wielingen and Phyllis Yaffe as the newest recipients of the
2016 ICD Fellowship Award.
We welcome them to their new community of ICD Fellows,
a community that shares a strong belief in the importance of
leadership and board governance as a foundation for excellent
organizational performance.
The ICD Fellowship Award is the highest distinction for
corporate directors in Canada. Since 1997, the ICD has bestowed
the prestigious F.ICD designation on 77 individuals from across
the country.
Ian Bourne chaired the selection committee that embraced the
challenge of selecting tonight’s honourees from among many
deserving candidates. He and his committee - composed of
Françoise Bertrand, Beverley Briscoe, Harold McKay, Kate
Stevenson and John Thompson - deserve our sincere gratitude for
the care and objectivity with which they conducted the selection
process as well as for the time they each devoted to the task.
The ICD extends its sincere thanks to our sponsors, who not only
provide financial support, but on occasion also partner with us
to generate ideas and promote excellence among the director
community and its leadership.
Enjoy the celebrations.
MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
On behalf of the Institute of Corporate Directors, I am delighted to
welcome you to the 19th annual ICD Fellowship Awards Gala.
In honouring our four new Fellows tonight, we are reminded
that Canada’s director community is rich in both leadership
talent and imparted wisdom. Edward Barrett, Robert Prichard,
Mac Van Wielingen and Phyllis Yaffe represent the highest standard of
excellence in directorship as our country faces the challenges thrown
at it in the form of globalization, disruptive technology, activism,
regulation and whatever new tests may lie around the corner.
Tonight we enjoy record attendance for the annual gala, which reflects
the growing appreciation of good governance and for the performance
of Canadian boards and is indicative of the strong following the ICD
enjoys in Alberta. This evening’s celebrations owe much to the strong
execution of the Calgary chapter, its executive committee, advisory
committee and its volunteers, all under the fine leadership of chair
Art Korpach. I would also like to thank our sponsors whose support
has made today’s events possible.
I extend my sincerest congratulations to this year’s recipients, who
join an illustrious group of directors that exemplify leadership and
distinction in corporate governance. Our mission at the ICD, to foster
excellence in directors, boards and businesses, is greatly assisted by
your own prominent examples.
This gala, and other ICD events throughout the year, offer our
members an opportunity to contribute to, and benefit from, the
shared wisdom of the country’s director community.
Thank you for celebrating excellence in governance with us tonight.

MESSAGE FROM THE SELECTION
COMMITTEE CHAIR
As chair of the ICD Fellowship Awards selection committee,
I welcome you all to tonight’s gala and congratulate this year’s
deserving recipients of the F.ICD designation.
Edward Barrett, Robert Prichard, Mac Van Wielingen and
Phyllis Yaffe have consistently demonstrated excellence in their
director careers through their leadership, integrity, collegiality
and accountability. Their commitment, energy and insightfulness
have enhanced the effectiveness and competitiveness of the many
organizations that they have served. The selection committee was
presented with an exceptional group of candidates this year, and
each of us - Françoise Bertrand, Beverley Briscoe, Harold McKay,
Kate Stevenson, John Thompson and myself – were inspired by the
accomplishments of the candidates.
I wish to thank everyone who took the time to nominate a director,
as well as all of tonight’s attendees who are celebrating our newest
Fellows. By honouring some of the outstanding work done in the
director community each year, we further build on the ICD’s work
to support and foster better boards, better businesses and better
organizations across the country. In this tradition, I encourage you all
to nominate a candidate for next year’s awards, a process you can start
by visiting the ICD website for further information.
Thank you to my colleagues on the selection committee for your

We welcome them to their new community of ICD Fellows, a community that shares a strong belief in the importance of leadership and board governance as a foundation for excellent organizational performance. The ICD Fellowship Award is the highest distinction for corporate directors in Canada. Since 1997, the ICD has bestowed the prestigious F.ICD designation on 77 individuals from across the country. Ian Bourne chaired the selection committee that embraced the challenge of selecting tonight’s honourees from among many deserving candidates. He and his committee - composed of Françoise Bertrand, Beverley Briscoe, Harold McKay, Kate Stevenson and John Thompson - deserve our sincere gratitude for the care and objectivity with which they conducted the selection process as well as for the time they each devoted to the task. The ICD extends its sincere thanks to our sponsors, who not only provide financial support, but on occasion also partner with us to generate ideas and promote excellence among the director community and its leadership. Enjoy the celebrations. MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO On behalf of the Institute of Corporate Directors, I am delighted to welcome you to the 19th annual ICD Fellowship Awards Gala. In honouring our four new Fellows tonight, we are reminded that Canada’s director community is rich in both leadership talent and imparted wisdom. Edward Barrett, Robert Prichard, Mac Van Wielingen and Phyllis Yaffe represent the highest standard of excellence in directorship as our country faces the challenges thrown at it in the form of globalization, disruptive technology, activism, regulation and whatever new tests may lie around the corner. Tonight we enjoy record attendance for the annual gala, which reflects the growing appreciation of good governance and for the performance of Canadian boards and is indicative of the strong following the ICD enjoys in Alberta. This evening’s celebrations owe much to the strong execution of the Calgary chapter, its executive committee, advisory committee and its volunteers, all under the fine leadership of chair Art Korpach. I would also like to thank our sponsors whose support has made today’s events possible. I extend my sincerest congratulations to this year’s recipients, who join an illustrious group of directors that exemplify leadership and distinction in corporate governance.

Thank you for celebrating excellence in governance with us tonight.
