"She brings passion and a wealth of global knowledge to our discussions.

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. Taught by some of the world's leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, C-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents. No course on risk for board members as robust as this - depth, practicality, and global expertise - exists anywhere else.
“The Certificate in Risk Governance® course connected all the dots and provided multiple frames for assessing corporate risk,” said Ms. Hunter. “Throughout the course, I thought of situations and people who could benefit from the learnings provided in the lessons. In my view, all board members should find a way to continually educate themselves to provide more relevant support to the companies they serve, and this course is an excellent start,” she continued.
The fundamental Duty of Care for directors around risk is to ensure that our organizations take risks well in pursuit of our goals and ambitions. This course furthers the fulfillment of that duty.
