Baruch College/NIRI NY Proxy Reform Panel
The SEC has proposed a major reform to proxy access rules related to dissident shareholders. With the comment deadline set for August 17, public companies must decide what do to in response and when. This proxy reform panel, involving leaders from several major industry associations whose members are impacted by both recent and proposed new rules, will help educate attendees on this important issue.

About the Program
This program covered both recent reform (Rule 452 - Broker Discretionary Vote being eliminated for 2010 Proxy Season) and proposed changes (access by dissident shareholders to the management ballot that is mailed to shareholders). Panelists discussed how these changes might impact the role of the Investor Relations professional and what steps the professional should consider in planning for the future. The paneliests also shared insight into the position their respective organizations were taking with regard to reform, and the concept of piecemeal change versus a complete review and overhaul of the proxy system.
