The purpose of IFG’s Board of Governors is to provide strategic advice, guidance, and support to the IFG Board to ensure its programmes, policies, and initiatives align with current and emerging trends in higher education, industry needs, and community expectations.
The Board of Governors consists of the IFG Board members and three independent governors. It does not possess decision-making authority and has not been delegated any powers by the IFG Board or its sub-boards and committees. The Board of Governors meets four times a year.
