Changes for 2012

After a thorough review of the governance structure and practies, the Board unanimously approved a new governance framework. Soome of the major features include:

  • the new structure achieves an increased range of member firm representation, while maintaining the Board at a manageable size from an overall perspective
  • outside thought is introduced in the form of external independent Board members (up to three) 
  • non-Board members will be eligible to serve on the Board's standing committees, resulting in increased member firm involvement in the governance of Grant Thornton.
