“Technology: Opportunities & Risks in Corporate Governance”
Dennis McQuistion, Director of the Institute for Excellence in Corporate Governance at the University of Texas at Dallas and host and co-executive producer of the award-winning, syndicated PBS television program “McCUISTION.”
Dennis offered a sneak preview of the Institute’s September 29th day-long seminar of the same title. Given all the recent instances of cyber crime (Sony, Citigroup, Epsilon Data Management, to name a few), the program topic was timely. Discussion also focused on technology changes in investor relations and the greatest challenges for IROs in the current market environment.
Dennis is a former bank CEO who consults with financial institutions and other businesses on top management issues. He facilitates strategic planning sessions, offers advice on financial and leadership issues.

Proxy access proposals coming your way in 2012! The SEC indicated it will allow eligible shareholders to include company-specific proxy access bylaw proposals on proxies beginning in 2012. Check out the ISS blog for more insight.
Secretly Recorded Earnings Conference Calls? Courts ruled this week that Bloomberg must defend a Swatch lawsuit that it secretly recorded an earnings call and gave a transcript to clients. This case is well worth watching for IR professionals.
