“It was a pleasure to work with Kemi in our guided study cohort with members of WomenExecs on Boards,” said David R. Koenig, QRD^®, president and chief executive officer of the DCRO Institute. “She brought a resolute and thoughtful approach to our discussions, and as an experienced and successful board member and executive, she will, no doubt, bring such strengths to current and future board roles.”

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.

“Thank you to the DCRO Institute for this excellent programme on risk governance for board members,” said Mrs. Adewole. This program has deepened my understanding of risk and changed my approach to board-level risk governance. The boards I serve on will definitely benefit from this new knowledge,” she continued.
