Governance Systems Professional (GSP)

What It Means To Be A Governance System Professional GSP Fellow At Govern For Impact

GSP Fellow at GOVERN for IMPACT is a very distinguished position. We value these governance leaders and admire what they have accomplished.

Being a GSP Fellow is more than taking the Policy Governance Proficiency course and passing the exam; it is more than attending the Policy Governance Academy and passing an exam, and it is more than continuing education credits.

GSP Fellowship is designed as a leadership position which calls for:

  • Conduct consistent with a strict professional code;
  • Continuous learning and sharing of ideas and wisdom within the broader governance excellence community;
  • Active participation in learning, sharing, advocacy and potentially research, and
  • Volunteer involvement in aspects of GOVERN for IMPACT and its purpose.


It is not just a position but a commitment to the purpose of GOVERN for IMPACT and active involvement in pursuing this purpose. We invite everyone interested in governance excellence to consider becoming a GOVERN for IMPACT GSP Fellow.
