People and accountable roles
Financial readers need to know who is accountable for an institution's work, and on what record. The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) names officers, directors, council members and representatives only with a current, verified record. This page sets out the roles GRA is designed to have, how a named person appears here and what a role does not confer. Nobody should cite this site as evidence that they hold a GRA role until their name appears here. See About GRA.

The short answer.
People and accountable roles at GRA are the officers, directors, council members and representatives the institution is designed to have, each named only with a current, verified record. The page sets out the roles, how a named person appears and what a role never confers, and no one should cite the site as proof of a role until listed.

What a GRA role never confers.
Not authority
Taking part in a GRA platform, working group or council gives no one power to speak for GRA, for a consortium or for any public authority.
Official capacity only
Supervisors and other public officials are not members of GRA; they take part in open work only in their official capacity and under their own institution's rules.
Other institutions
Leadership councils across the Consortium, including the National Leadership Council (NLC), are described by The Global Risks Forum (GRF) on Leadership and councils.
