William Bonnell, Executive Vice President, Risk Management, and Chief Risk Officer, National Bank of Canada, was elected Chair of The Risk Management Association (RMA). Michael Nassy, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, FVCbank, was elected Vice Chair. Jodi Richard, Vice Chair and Chief Risk Officer, U.S. Bancorp, was elected Treasurer. Their one-year terms began Sept. 1.

"We are excited with the diversity of skills, backgrounds and experiences of the members of our Board, and it will be an honor to work with them," said RMA President and CEO Nancy Foster. "Through the Board's dedication and support, RMA members will benefit from the resources needed to manage the evolving risks of COVID-19, and be in position to optimize their performance in any economic environment."

As National Bank of Canada’s CRO, Bonnell is responsible for enterprise-wide risk management including credit, market and operational risks, as well as compliance. He previously held leadership positions in capital markets trading, credit risk, and market risk management while working in Montreal, Toronto, London and Dublin.

"I look forward to serving as chair this year with such outstanding board members and officers. I believe strongly in the purpose and vision of RMA, especially during these difficult times. The stronger we can make our common risk management practices, the more resilient our organizations will be, putting us in an even better position to support our clients and communities," said Bonnell.

Nassy sets the credit culture for the bank and oversees all credit-related activities, including concentration management and stress testing, loan policies and procedures, loan servicing and documentation, and loan approvals, along with the ALLL.

Richard oversees all aspects of the company's risk management activities, including operational risk, credit risk, market risk, model risk, global compliance, AML/BSA, independent risk review and regulatory services.
