OCEG is pleased to announce the appointment of three highly regarded GRC thought leaders 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®. The OCEG community at large is welcome to join in the conversation, by becoming a member of the OCEG Fellows Group within the OCEG site to follow and comment on blog discussions started by the Fellows, and gain access to resources they post in the group. Find the OCEG Fellows group under the featured Community groups at www.oceg.org.  Our three new fellows, Paul Liebman, Tim Leech and Worth MacMurray, were “early adopters” of the GRC message and have helped to build and refine it for many years. Each, in his own way, has assisted OCEG in developing and promoting the GRC Capability Model. We welcome their participation in the OCEG Fellows group together with our other OCEG fellows, Brian Barnier, Brett Curran, Norman Marks and Michael Rasmussen.
