"I am always thrilled to celebrate a first in terms of earning our credentials," said David R. Koenig, QRD^®, President and Chief Executive Officer of the DCRO Institute. "David’s rich board-level experience in governance, audit, and risk is highly valuable, and we are pleased to see him advance that knowledge through our program. We look forward to the continuing positive impact he will have on the boards where he serves."

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.
