Symposium On Shareholder Access

Schedule:
 

Due to concerns that corporate board members may not be responsive to shareholders, the Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed regulations that would change the nominating process for directors of publicly-held companies.  By giving shareholders greater access to their boards' nominating processes, the SEC regulation hopes to bring the interests of board members and shareholders into closer alignment.  So how will the proposed changes affect corporate governance and shareholder value?

To begin answering that question, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University is hosting a Symposium that brings together shareholder activists, corporate leaders, and leading academics to discuss current research and real world experience regarding the nature of the problem and the proposed solutions.
