Breakout 1: Bank Director 101: Risk Primer
The Bank Director 101 sessions are for the newer directors in our audience and focus on the basics that all directors must know as they participate in board meetings. This session on risk includes what a good director needs to know about risk, including the information about risks that banks should expect to receive, the board’s role in establishing risk appetite, how board members should examine key risks — credit, interest rate risk and cybersecurity — and how board members should connect risks to strategic decision making.
