The Alastair Ross Goobey (ARG) Memorial Scholarship was established jointly by the ICGN and Hermes Fund Managers in April 2008 to commemorate Alastair’s contribution as a pioneer of the international corporate governance movement. The annual scholarship endowment is awarded to one individual from among ICGN scholarship recipients displaying strong leadership in the field of corporate governance despite facing the challenges of working in a difficult or low-income environment.
This year’s successful candidate was Pamela Karegi Akivaga, Legal Officer for Capital Markets Authority (Kenya). As part of her scholarship, Pamela will write a paper with a regional emphasis to be distributed by ICGN in 2010.
