Business Wire
Corporate Board Member, an NYSE Euronext Company, and the Center
for Audit Quality (CAQ) are partnering to host a series of events
focusing on the relationship between public company boards and the
investor community. Following an investor roundtable held in
Washington, D.C. last month, the two organizations will host the
Board-Shareholder Forum on June 18, 2013 at the New York Stock
Exchange.
The inaugural event will bring together CEOs, board members,
general counsel and investor relations with institutional
investors, pension funds, asset managers and other shareholder
representatives, to debate the future of shareholder/board
communications and discuss best practices around shareholders’
majority voice and the challenges of future non-binding advisory
votes.
“Our goal is to establish a constructive dialogue on topics
surrounding the foundations of sound corporate governance policies,
the role and influence of proxy advisory firms in institutional
investors’ voting decisions, and expectations of shareholder groups
to engage directly with board members,” said Cindy Fornelli,
executive director at the Center for Audit Quality.

- Anne Chapman, Vice President, Fund
Business Management, Capital Group

& Global Head, Corporate Governance & Responsible

“This movement for more shareholder engagement with board
members isn’t going anywhere, so we need to figure out a process
that will work for all parties. It is interesting that our research
shows current board members are open to engaging but corporate
counsels, both inside and outside, are very cautious to move in
this direction. Hopefully, this event will bring those discussions
and concerns out in the open,” said TK Kerstetter, chairman of
Corporate Board Member.
