I have truly enjoyed leading the Center for the last four years, and it's an honor to pass the baton to Christine. I anticipate she will make a significant impact," said Oven.

Under Davine's leadership, the Center will continue to help empower directors, aspiring directors, and executives who interface with the board to deliver value to the organizations that they serve across focus areas such as governance, audit, strategy, risk management, innovation, crisis management, compensation, and succession planning. The Center aims to serve as a resource for leading practices and transformative strategies that can drive board effectiveness and corporate governance.

Davine has an extensive history of collaborating with directors and executives of large global organizations across various industries, working on complex financial reporting and risk management issues.

"I'm looking forward to helping empower board directors in today's expanding and evolving business risk and regulatory landscape," added Davine. "It is an honor to step into a leadership role that spans such critical areas of board service. Carey has left a lasting impact, and I look forward to building on her innovative strategies and striving to set new benchmarks in board effectiveness that reflect our organization's high standards and values."
