She is a past board member of the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras, the Lake Forest Symphony, the Chicago American Marketing Association, and the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association. She served as an Advisory Board Member and Lecturer for the DePaul University Driehaus College of Business and presently serves as a member of the House Committee of the University Club of Chicago.

"Marianne has shown a strong commitment to continuous learning in furtherance of her board service," said David R. Koenig, QRD®, President and Chief Executive Officer of the DCRO Institute. "Joining an elite club of those who have earned all three of our top credentials, she brings a keen sense for the positive governance of risk-taking to the boardroom and combines that with her deep experience in marketing, revenue generation, and technology."

The Certificate in Cyber Risk Governance® is awarded to those who have completed an extensive education program led by a global suite of board members, leading C-suite technology executives, law enforcement, and intelligence experts, all with deep knowledge of technology and cyber. Candidate knowledge is validated by evaluation across all subjects covered.

“I’ve recently completed my third program with The DCRO Institute and wholeheartedly recommend all of its training and forums, including the program on cyber risk governance,” said Ms. Hewitt. “Even those of us with technology management experience will view cyber threats to our businesses through a different lens after completing this program. Through the use of national frameworks and cyber risk life cycle processes, we understand the importance of preparedness, continuous data gathering through an intelligence-driven approach, and the role of board members and the questions to which they seek answers for oversight of an effective cybersecurity program,” she continued.

The fundamental Duty of Care for directors around risk is to ensure that our organizations take risks well in pursuit of our goals and ambitions. This course furthers the fulfillment of that duty.
