Prof. Anita Anand of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law has been awarded the Yvan Allaire Medal by the Royal Society of Canada.

The medal recognizes an individual’s outstanding contribution in the governance of private and public organisations, a statement [1] from the university said. The RSC, in partnership with the Institute for Governance of Private and Public Organisations, established the award to promote healthy governance practices in public and private organizations of all sizes, it said.

“Professor Anand’s foundational research has significantly altered global thinking about best practices for boards of directors, including the importance of diversity on boards,” the award’s citation said. “She has identified gaps in the law that undermine investors’ interests and has proposed effective solutions to ensure that their rights are protected.”






Anand and other winners will formally receive their honours at an awards ceremony on Nov. 22 in Ottawa.

According to her profile [2] on the university’s website, Anand is the academic director of the faculty’s Centre for the Legal Profession’s program on ethics in law and business, and holds the J.R. Kimber Chair in Investor Protection and Corporate Governance. From 2007 to 2009, she was associate dean at the faculty.

She holds bachelor’s degrees in political studies and jurisprudence from Queen’s University and University of Oxford, respectively. She obtained an LLB from Dalhousie University and an LLM from the University of Toronto, and was called to the Ontario Bar in 1994.

		<content><![CDATA[Montreal, September 26, 2018 — The Royal Society of Canada has awarded the first Yvan Allaire Medal in Governance to M. Donald J. Savoie, OC, ONB, FRSC, D.Phil., D. ès L., professor and holder of the Canada Research Chair in Public Administration and Governance at the Université de Moncton.

This medal, along with a $5,000 prize, recognizes a distinguished contribution in the area of governance in Canada. It is named for Professor Yvan Allaire, FRSC, executive chair of IGOPP, in honour of his remarkable role, through his writings as well as the co-founder of the Institute on Governance, in the field of strategy and governance in Quebec and in Canada over the last 30 years.

Professor Savoie’s contributions in the field of governance in the public sector have been widely recognized. His scholarly publications have won awards in Canada, the United States and Europe. He has acted as a governance advisor to the United Nations, the OECD, the World Bank and the governments of several countries, including Russia and China. An Officer of the Order of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, he won the Killam Prize in Social Sciences in 2015 and received eight honorary doctorates from Canadian universities as well as a doctorate in letters from Oxford University.

Created in 2005 with the financial support of the Stephen Jarislowsky Foundation, the Autorité des marchés financiers and two academic institutions (HEC Montréal and Concordia University), the Institute for Governance (IGOPP) has become a Center of Excellence for Governance. Through its research activities, its training programs, its policy papers and its participation in public debates, IGOPP has established itself as a key think tank on governance matters in both the private and the public sectors.

Founded in 1882, the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) comprises established leaders across the Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences as well as emerging leaders in The College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. The object of the RSC is to serve Canada and the world by recognizing Canada's leading scientists, scholars, and artists, and mobilizing them in open discussion to advance knowledge and understanding of critical issues with a view toward contributing to a better future.

		<content><![CDATA[By virtue of his long-standing commitment and exceptional contribution to the evolution of the governance of our public and private organizations, on May 17, 2017, professor Yvan Allaire, executive chair of the board of the Institute on Governance (IGOPP), will be named a Knight of the Order of Montreal, the city's highest distinction.

On May 4, 2017, the executive committee of the City of Montreal, on the recommendation of the mayor of Montreal, Denis Coderre, announced the appointment of 17 well-known Montrealers, including professor Allaire, who will receive the medal of the Order of Montreal next May 17.

The Order of Montreal, an important legacy of the 375th anniversary of Montreal, is aimed at recognizing exceptional women and men who have made a remarkable contribution to the development and reputation of Montreal.




Yvan Allaire is one of the most influential business figures in Québec and Canada. A renowned international leader in the field of business strategy and governance, he has led a brilliant academic career and played an exceptional role in the business world.








Professor emeritus of strategy at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) since 2001, Allaire has been the Executive Chair of the Board of the Institute for governance (IGOPP) since 2005. His contribution as Chair of the task force on the governance of government corporations, in 2003, led to the enactment of Québec’s Act Respecting the Governance of State-Owned Enterprises in 2006. He has published over a hundred works and articles covering every aspect of corporate governance, the most recent of which were co-authored with Mihaela Firsirotu.

Allaire was the co-founder and, from 1975 to 1990, Chair of the Board of the SECOR Group, a major Canadian strategic consulting group which became KPMG-Secor in 2012. He was also Executive Vice-President of Bombardier from 1996 to 2001 and has served on many Boards of Directors, including those of the Council of Universities, the École de technologie supérieure, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Bombardier, CGI Group, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, the Aga Khan Foundation and the Montréal Council on Foreign Relations.

In 1976, his visionary approach was instrumental in establishing the joint doctoral program in administration in the four Montréal universities, and, in 1979, the executive MBA program that sealed the reputation of UQAM’s management science school, the École des sciences de la gestion (ESG).

From 2010 to 2014, Yvan Allaire was, first, a member and, then, the Chair of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on the Role of Business, a task force made up of some of the most eminent thinkers and senior leaders of the business world, academia and the media.

Allaire has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada since 1991, and in 2001, he received the Award of Distinction from Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business for his extraordinary contribution to the business world and the community. The Academy of Economic Sciences of Bucharest awarded him a doctorate honoris causa in 1995. In 2001, he was chosen as one of 12 “High Performers” by Commerce magazine and, in 2008, the Financial Post Magazine named him one of Canada six Business Gurus.

Yvan Allaire holds a B.Sc. Com. (summa cum laude) and an MBA from the Université de Sherbrooke and a PhD from the MIT Sloan School of Management.
