On October 30, 2025, Envisia will host the 3rd edition of the Future of Boards Gala. The event brings together board members, executives, and governance ecosystem partners for an evening dedicated to recognizing responsible leadership, corporate governance, and high-performing boards. The six award categories celebrate individuals and boards who, through courageous decisions and integrity, create long-term value for the economy and society.
At a time when trust in institutions is fragile, the role of boards goes beyond decision-making — it reaches into integrity, vision, and contribution to the common good. The Future of Boards Gala by Envisia recognizes the people and boards that raise the bar: those who make bold decisions, build trust, and shape resilient institutions focused on long-term value.
Carmen Micu, CEO & Co-Founder Envisia: “The Future of Boards Gala is the expression of a community that actively invests in the professionalization of its members and that turns high standards into real impact. We celebrate boards and leaders who put people and sustainable outcomes first. For us, board education and professional collaboration are the most powerful tools to rebuild trust.”
The 2025 edition will also mark the launch of Volume II of “Chronicles from the Boardroom – A Romanian Perspective”, featuring research conducted by certified professionals in the Master in Board Practice & Directorship program delivered by Envisia & Henley Business School.
The gala will open with a keynote conversation moderated by Prof. Lorenzo Fioramonti (political scientist, Academic Director at NATIVA Campus, former Minister of Education in Italy, Member of the Club of Rome), joined by Dr. Daniel David, Minister of Education and Research in Romania, and Dr. Victoria Hurth, global expert in governance and purpose-driven leadership and coordinator of the ISO 37011 international standard for purpose-driven organizations. The dialogue, titled “How Responsible Governance Can Rebuild the Social Contract,” will explore how institutions can reconnect with society and the role of boards in regaining public legitimacy. The panel will put forward visions that go beyond compliance, redefining legitimacy and ethical leadership, with a strong focus on education and the role of professional communities in systemic change.
