Join IoD Distinguished Fellow Graham Kennedy for an interactive discussion on the challenges of governing in the banking industry.
The recent launch of a Select Committee inquiry into banking competition is a reminder of the substantial impact the banking sector has on business and society. We're excited to have experienced professional director and IoD Distinguished Fellow Graham Kennedy join us to share some boardroom tales and war stories exploring the development of governance in the banking sector. From navigating the challenges to understanding the perceptions, risks and responsibilities in this complex industry.
Fireside chats are story-based, small group events where questions and discussion are actively encouraged. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of matters discussed, the Chatham House Rule will apply. Numbers are strictly limited.
MNZM BCom (Otago), DistFInstD, FCA, ACIS, ACIM, Fellow of NZ Trustees Association
Graham moved from Dunedin to Ashburton in 1973 and joined the team at the accountancy firm Brophy Knight. He has been an independent director/chairman or trustee for a number of private and public entities, including a long association with the banking industry, having been a director of CBS Canterbury for 24 years. During this period, Graham was actively involved in the significant changes occurring over that time, including demutualisation and NZAX listing. He was also Chairman from 2002 – 2008, a period that included mergers with both SMC Building Society and Loan and Building Society.
Graham was a founding director of Heartland New Zealand Limited, an NZX 50 listed entity, and Heartland Bank Limited. Although he resigned as a director in 2019, he remains as a trustee of the Heartland Charitable Trust.
As well as his diverse range of directorships, Graham has been a trustee/chairman of numerous charitable organisations, was a council member of the Ashburton JP Association, and served for five years as a member of the Institute of Directors Canterbury branch committee.
