OCEG is pleased to announce the appointment of four exceptional thought leaders in the GRC community to the role of OCEG Fellow. OCEG Fellows are individuals who lecture and write frequently about OCEG's GRC Capability Model (the Red Book) and other standards and tools that help to drive Principled Performance.
Now, to allow the OCEG community at large to join in the conversation, we have established an OCEG Fellows Group within the OCEG site. OCEG members may join this group to follow and comment on blog discussions started by the Fellows, and gain access to resources they post in the group. Find the group under the featured Community groups at www.oceg.org.
