About this talk

With 2020 fast approaching, now is a critical time to identify and assess key trends and developments that corporate secretaries, investor relations professionals and their colleagues have tackled in 2019 so you can prepare for the coming year. Our panel of experts will discuss important findings in the recently released 2019 Annual Corporate Governance Review from Georgeson and Proxy Insight. Panelists will also look ahead to issues likely to be of focus in the coming year. Topics for the webinar include: • Shareholder proposals on ESG issues – what were the trending topics in 2019, how did investors vote and what issues will be prominent in the upcoming proxy season? • Director elections – how successful have directors been in maintaining support and what does the push for diversity mean for 2020? • Say-on-pay proposals – how have investors’ views on executive compensation practices evolved?

ABOUT GOVERNANCE INTELLIGENCE Governance Intelligence was founded in 2002 to help corporate secretaries and other governance professionals develop a deeper understanding of their roles and become more effective in them at a time when publicly listed companies’ regulatory compliance requirements began to escalate amid a series of high-profile corporate accounting scandals. Governance Intelligence is a digital content and events company, providing a forum where governance experts and service providers can share their experience, insights and best practice recommendations on a wide range of critical issues, from corruption, internal investigations, e-discovery and records management to succession planning, executive compensation, proxy actions and shareholder engagement. Governance Intelligence is independently owned and today continues to serve a vital role in highlighting the achievements and expertise of a group of people who work outside the spotlight and are often isolated as the only individuals in their organizations focusing on these complex matters.
