InvestCorp, a leading provider and manager of alternative investment products, and GCC Board Directors Institute (BDI), will be running a two-and-a- half day workshop on Corporate Governance at the Kempinski Grand & Ixir Hotel Bahrain City on Dec.10-12, 2012. Participants in the workshop will hear from faculty members of leading advisory institutions on building board members' capabilities, and will have the opportunity to engage in extensive peer discussion. Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, Minister Of Culture of Bahrain, will be addressing the topics on Culture and Bahrain at the BDI alumni dinner on the second night of the workshop, whereas Samer Majali, CEO of Gulf Air, will be delivering the keynote speech during the welcome dinner on “Establishing a Strong Corporate Governance Framework at Gulf Air”. This is the third workshop hosted by Investcorp and the 13th in a series of workshops on Corporate Governance conducted by BDI. Mohammed Al-Shroogi, Investcorp's President, Gulf Business, said: “In my interactions with analysts and investors, it is becoming more and more apparent that, apart from looking at a business' numbers, all stakeholders attach a great deal of value to corporate governance. There is strong evidence that those companies that have good corporate governance structures always perform better.” — SG
