Advisory Board
ERM Initiative Advisory Board
The Enterprise Risk Management Initiative at North Carolina State University has formed an advisory board to provide the Initiative with input as it seeks to expand, particularly in the area of outreach to the business community. The board is composed of a balanced mix of professionals with an interest in risk management from corporate, both locally and nationally across several industry sectors, in addition to public accounting, consulting firms, and other ERM advisors.
The board provides advice on ERM curriculum, identifying emerging trends and best practices related to ERM, advising on thought-leadership and education-related needs and opportunities, planning roundtables and executive education programs, content and direction for the ERM website, evaluating challenges and barriers, securing sponsorships for roundtables and other events, and identifying avenues of funding for the initiative overall.
