Description

Please join The Directors Roundtable and NIRI SF on Friday, February, 26, 2016 in a discussion of Key Issues Facing Boards, IROs & C-Suites: Shareholder Access to Directors, Proxy Season & Activist Investors.

It is no secret: proxy access and activism are grabbing the media spotlight and gaining momentum. What does that mean for companies, boards, and shareholders?

As proxy season and other recent corporate governance developments have highlighted, companies need a thoughtful and proactive approach on how they structure engagement between their shareholders and their board of directors for the optimal outcome. These Distinguished Speakers discussed increased demands on boards and executives, and offer a proactive framework for successful board-shareholder engagement.
