Call for Expressions of Interest: Volunteer Subject Matter Experts

Help Shape the Future of CGIC Learning

The Chartered Governance Institute of Canada (CGIC) is modernizing its professional education programs by transitioning existing learning materials for the International Qualifying Program (IQP) and Director Education and Accreditation Program (DEAP) into a dynamic Learning Management System (LMS).

We are inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from CGIC members who wish to volunteer as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to support this important initiative.

About the Opportunity

As CGIC moves toward a more engaging and interactive online learning experience, volunteer SMEs will play a key role in:

  • Reviewing updated course materials to ensure accuracy, clarity, and professional relevance.
  • Providing insights to help modernize content for digital delivery.
  • Collaborating with CGIC’s Learning Experience Designer to create short video insights that enhance learner engagement.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute your professional expertise to shaping the next generation of governance learning in Canada.
