GLOBAL, ORGANIZATION, April 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The DCRO Institute, the world's leading source of risk governance training and credentials for board members and C-suite executives, announced today the offering of a guided study cohort through the Board Members’ Course on Risk® exclusively for current and aspiring directors in the Middle East and Africa.
The Board Members’ Course on Risk® is recognized as the top risk governance education program globally, with graduates serving on boards in more than 50 countries. This study cohort is facilitated by three Qualified Risk Directors® and will guide participants toward earning the Certificate in Risk Governance®, a global distinction, and progress towards becoming Qualified Risk Directors®. It will combine the global knowledge of DCRO Institute faculty with a regional focus on best practices and experiences.
“This is a very important region for the DCRO Institute in our global mission,” said David R. Koenig, QRD®, President and Chief Executive Officer of the DCRO Institute. "There have been remarkable advances in corporate governance and increasing appreciation of the value that diverse boards bring to the region and globally. This is a great opportunity for us to help accelerate those improvements in risk governance through our unique positive focus."
Koenig is joined by Eneni Oduwole, QRD®, and Nada Awad Rizkallah, QRD®, as facilitators in the program. Oduwole is a highly regarded risk governance expert based in Lagos, Nigeria, who brings decades of risk management and risk governance expertise to the discussion. Awad Rizkallah, based in Beirut, Lebanon, has a long history in risk and strategy in banking and finance and was named a DCRO Exemplar in 2023. Both Oduwole and Awad Rizkallah co-chair the DCRO Institute’s Leadership Circle in the Middle East and Africa.
Commenting on the need for programs like this, Eneni Oduwole, QRD®, said, “An effective board must, in its governance of risk-taking, think value creation, enhancement or preservation of the organization to ensure that it not only remains viable but that it can achieve sustainable growth irrespective of the macro-economic climate it is operating in.”
Echoing these thoughts, Nada Awad Rizkallah, QRD®, said, “The role of the board of directors is becoming increasingly challenging with the ongoing complex uncertainties and risks. It is becoming very essential for board members to embrace risks efficiently, with a commitment to proactive governance practices and initiatives, to ensure sustainable long-term value creation in an ever-evolving landscape”
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.
