Board Council Member

Type:
 Non-executive Leadership Council Member (by invitation)

Location:
 International (distributed; US, Canada, Switzerland flagship cadence + global satellite cities)

Term:
 3 years

Required:
 Council membership (annual service fee; Member-in-Good-Standing gate)

The 
Global Risks Forum (GRF)
 is being established as the 
world stage for risk governance and risk management
—connecting decision layers across 
all hazards
 and 
all of society
. Anchored by an
Annual Flagship Event in Switzerland
 with satellite convenings worldwide, GRF exists to solve the failure mode leaders face today: risk is compounding faster than institutions can coordinate, verify, and act. GRF's mission is to make risk response and resilience 
decision-grade
 and 
execution-ready
—through standards, assurance, due process, and measurable accountability that can stand up to parliamentary, supervisory, and multilateral scrutiny while moving fast in real emergencies.

Role

As a 
Non-Executive Leadership Council Member
, you join a compact, invitation-based cohort shaping GRF's formation and global agenda. This is not a conference title. It is a 
governance build mandate
 with direct visibility to 
Board nomination (2026)
 based on delivered outcomes in good standing. You will work with core architects and frontline builders to design the rules, assurance profiles, dispute mechanics, and public accountability discipline that determine what "counts" when crises hit and decisions must be defended.

Why now

GRF is being formed for the decisive decade—where systemic events are increasingly correlated and politically destabilizing:

• AI and autonomous decision risk
   (model/tool governance, accountability, incident clocks, human-in-the-loop integrity)
• Information disorder and legitimacy crises
   (misinformation, deepfakes, contested narratives, governance under manipulation)
• Cyber and critical dependency cascades
   (third-party concentration, outage contagion, cross-border recovery)
• Climate and infrastructure stress
   (compounding hazards, service continuity, rapid lawful action and recovery)
• Geopolitics and supply-chain disruption
   (sanctions/controls constraints, intelligence-to-action reliability)
• GRF is where these risks are translated into 
  standards, assurance, and operational governance
   that sovereigns, institutions, and multilaterals can use without ambiguity.

Responsibilities

• Set global agenda and priorities:
   Shape GRF's annual program and hazard/lane sequencing across community-to-global layers.
• Build decision-grade governance assets:
   Develop and approve standards-aligned outputs—assurance profiles, conformance criteria, evidence quality requirements, disclosure rules, and auditability expectations.
• Ensure integrity under scrutiny:
   Uphold independence, conflict safeguards, recusal discipline, and competition-safe engagement; protect GRF as a neutral, non-captured institution.
• Enable cross-border coordination:
   Strengthen due process and dispute mechanics so decisions are defensible, correctable, and trusted.
• Committee delivery:
   Serve on at least one standing committee and own one material workstream with measurable milestones and ship-ready outputs.

Profile (who this is for)

• Senior leaders (C-suite / board / heads of function) with authority across 
  risk, governance, policy, supervision, audit, cyber/operational resilience, emergency management, infrastructure, finance, insurance, capital markets, or AI governance
  .
• Track record building operating institutions, not just publishing thought leadership.
• Reputation for independence, disciplined execution, and credibility under public and regulatory scrutiny.

Requirements

• Invitation to join
   and completion of onboarding; processing of the 
  annual Council membership/service fee
  .
• Maintain 
  Member-in-Good-Standing
   status (subscription current; disclosures complete; conduct compliant; active participation; delivery against commitments).
