Board and governance
The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) is a nonprofit corporation registered in Nevada, United States, operating as a business league for the financial services industry. Its board, oversight and legal identity are governed by its corporate documents. This page sets out how GRA is designed to be governed and what it will publish about that governance. It applies one rule throughout: a governance fact appears here only when a record supports it, and a document is never described as in force until it is adopted and reviewed. See About GRA for the institution as a whole.

The short answer.
GRA's board and governance are those of a nonprofit corporation registered in Nevada, operating as a business league, governed by its corporate documents. The page sets out how GRA is designed to be governed and what it will publish about that governance, with one rule: a governance fact appears only when a record supports it.

Records first, then roles.
GRA is not organized for profit. Its purpose is the common business interest of the financial services industry, not the private business of any member. The corporate documents that create GRA set out who holds authority to act for it, how decisions are made and how its purpose is protected.

A shared programme does not merge governance.
GRA leads Nexus Consortiums together with The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) and The Global Risks Forum (GRF). Nexus Foundry is operated at national and regional level by Nexus Consortiums through their host and lead organizations, within a multilateral programme led by three pillar not-for-profit institutions, GCRI, GRF and GRA, on a public-private-planet partnership. Each pillar institution keeps its own governance, finances and liability. GCRI works through GCRI Canada, its lead organization and the Consortium Secretariat, and GCRI US, a separate organization with its own legal identity. GRF governs the annual Nexus Universe programme. GRA is not the legal parent, agent or treasury of any consortium, and an agreement between the institutions is described here only when a record supports it. GCRI's own governance is set out on About GCRI and GRF's on Governance and trust.
