"Technology leadership and board leadership are becoming increasingly intertwined," said David R. Koenig, President and Chief Executive Officer of the DCRO Institute. "Alexa's depth of experience in business and technology leadership, combined with her dedication to advanced understanding of how boards best govern risk-taking, makes her a valuable addition to any board."

The Certificate in Risk Governance^® is awarded to those who have completed The Board Members' Course on Risk^® - an intensive 17-course education program and evaluation. The curriculum is designed for current and aspiring board members who seek to advance the governance of risk-taking at their organizations and those who interact with boards.

No course on risk for board members as robust as this - depth, practicality, and global expertise - exists anywhere else.

"This course is imperative for any board director," said Ms. Raad. "The material is very thoughtfully curated to present the most up-to-date, as well as practical guidance."
