The 25 June 2020 is a historic date for the Myanmar Institute of Directors, as we had our first Annual General Meeting.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AGM was boardcasted via livestream to ensure physical distancing. The meeting was guided by COO Aung Myat Khaing, under the leadership of U Thura Ko Ko, who as was appointed interim Chair for the AGM. Members of MIoD casted their votes on resultions via proxy. In total, there were 10 resolutions, of which all were approved. This means that MIoD will welcome new board members, has now a new constitution, and reappoints the current auditor for future audits.

MIoD would like to express its thanks everyone involved to establish the Institute since its foundation in 2018. We are looking forward to continue promoting good corporate governance practices and business ethics in Myanmar.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, the Myanmar Institute of Directors (MIOD) and AMCHAM Myanmar jointly hosted a Breakfast Talk focusing on the role of women in corporate governance.

In the beginning, the concept of corporate governance was introduced, and its positive influence on professionalism inside companies and organizations elaborated. The panel then stressed the importance of including women in leading positions in companies, not based on their gender, but based on productivity potential that is not utilized in an unbalanced workforce or board composition. Further, the importance of mentorship for upcoming leaders and future board members was discussed, for example, providing more opportunities to sit-in board meetings and observe how formal procedures are executed and decisions are made.
