Governance Intelligence recently presented its 18th annual Corporate Governance Awards at a gala ceremony this past November in New York City. Live from the red carpet, we spoke with several esteemed guests from across the world of GRC, including Hope Mehlman, chief legal and corporate affairs officer at Ally Financial.
Mehlman was named the 2025 recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. Before the ceremony we asked about what this recognition means to her, the one piece of advice she would give aspiring governance professionals and why teams should consider entering next year.
The awards celebrate outstanding achievements by the governance profession in areas such as hosting AGMs, compliance and ethics programs, ESG reporting, entity management, use of technology, proxy statements, investor engagement and corporate transactions.
