In this panel, Yuriy Margulis and Drew Gellin from Valley National Bank, Skip Sorg from First Financial Bank, and Shelly Chase from Avidia Bank discuss a common challenge among customers: how can you effectively engage the business in your risk and governance programs. As we know, the risk management team working alone is not enough to protect your organization – you need to have buy-in from everyone from senior leadership down to the frontline. 

During this session, our panelists offer advice on how they have been able to build strong risk cultures within their organizations and the various strategies they employed. These ranged from taking a “snowball approach”, to continual education on the importance of the third line of defense, to ensuring you keep a pulse of the business.
