Engaging with Shareholders on Corporate Governance Issues

NIRI OC Explores Engagement with Shareholders on Corporate Governance 10-6-16

We heard from a panel of experts who provided insights and advice, plus described how one company initiated a successful outreach program that resulted in a favorable resolution to a shareholder proposal.

Panelists answered the following questions:

What are the current trends in corporate governance and likely hot button issues for the upcoming proxy season?
Should you proactively engage with your shareholders on corporate governance issues, and if so, how is that most effectively accomplished?
What role does the Board, Management and Investor Relations play in this process?
