Leadership pathway
The National Leadership Council (NLC) is the leadership pillar of a National Nexus programme. Its members are individuals, selected in personal capacity, who contribute leadership through a structured first year. The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) supports the national programmes that host the councils, and leadership dialogue across the programme is led by The Global Risks Forum (GRF). This page sets out the pathway, the terms of a seat and the boundaries of appointment. Selection precedes payment, and a seat never buys office. Return to National Nexus.

The short answer.
The National Leadership Council (NLC) is the leadership pillar of a National Nexus programme, whose members are individuals selected in personal capacity who contribute leadership through a structured first year ending at the Year-One Gateway. GRF leads leadership dialogue across the programme; a seat gives no authority over findings, and no council is constituted yet.

Year-One Gateway
A reviewed next state, not an automatic governance appointment.
The individual is the member.
Personal capacity
A seat belongs to the person, not to an employer, and an employer does not own a personal seat.
Defined term
Each seat has a term set in the invitation; renewal follows review, not automatic extension.
Declared interests
Members declare interests and step back from matters where they are conflicted.
What a seat does not give.
- Selection precedes payment; no payment secures selection.
- Council standing does not buy office, employment, a board seat or restricted data.
- A year of service produces a reviewed next state, not an appointment.
- No fee amounts are published until one schedule is bound with its issuer, currency, effective date and scope.
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| National Leadership Council | In the national model, the leadership body that sets a country programme's priorities and answers for its conduct, convened under written rules. |
| Nomination | The proposal of a person for a council or role, assessed against published criteria with conflicts declared; a nomination is not an appointment until the record says so. |
| Conflict of interest | A situation in which financial, professional or personal interests could compromise, or appear to compromise, judgement in research or review. |
No council is constituted.
No national programme is recorded as constituted or active, so no country's desk, model or portfolio is shown as operating. The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. Candidates can register interest at national@therisk.global. National leadership from GRF's side is described on National leadership, and institutional participation, a separate pillar, on Institutional participation.
