Today's Activism
While the universal proxy provided public company shareholders with additional options for influence, it hasn’t been as impactful as some had imagined. “Vote no” campaigns, which advocate against current directors without providing an alternative slate, are emerging as a powerful approach to drive changes in board composition. In parallel, social activism trends are impacting private and nonprofit boards, as well as public boards of all sizes.
Join us for a dynamic panel featuring experts with experience on multiple sides of the activism issue, and advice for directors in all domains on activism preparedness.
Panelists:
- 
John Stephens, Independent Director, Audit Committee Chair, former SVP and CFO, AT&T 
- 
Val Mack, Managing Director for Strategic Communications, Activism & Governance, FTI Consulting 
- 
Zachary Upcheshaw,Managing Director, Global Banking & Markets, Goldman Sachs, Dallas 
This event is sponsored by FTI Consulting:
