Vision and Mission

The vision of the Institute for Excellence in Corporate Governance is to be the information source of choice for corporate directors, senior management and institutional investors seeking guidance to effectively discharge their duties.

The mission of IECG is to provide corporate directors, senior management and institutional investors practical, timely, in-depth understanding and guidance regarding the opportunities, responsibilities and risks associated with their fiduciary responsibilities. IECG's efforts will enhance the abilities of corporate directors, senior management and institutional investors to promote and protect the interests of their stakeholders.

• Extensive and significant partnering of academics and practitioners

• The unique needs of corporate directors, senior management and institutional investors

• Strong, leading-edge research capability

• Delivering programs that assist corporate directors and senior management in improving their performance, as opposed to merely limiting personal liability

• Partnerships with other UT Dallas schools and centers

• Involvement of top students from the UT Dallas School of Management
