Professional recognition comes in many forms. Being one of the up to 300 Liverymen of the Company is recognition itself. But unlike some forms of recognition it has an on-going purpose.
For the present there is the enjoyment and inspiration of fellowship with other leading like-minded professionals. For the future there is the opportunity to assist in the development of the next generation of Chartered Secretaries and governance professionals through education, mentoring and training. There is of course the celebration of the past as well, in all its splendour and pageantry!
