NACD Nashville

A big thank you to William "Bill" Jones, NACD.DC for sharing a few of his key takeaways from yesterday's valuable discussion. "Great conversation by Noni L. Ellison, David Bartz, Linda Rebrovick, and Sandy Cochran about the proxy process, a look at current trends, and what issues are likely to impact next year. Increased investor activism and shareholder proposals are definitely calling for more board transparency and accountability. Thanks to Hal Lawton, Kurt Barton, and the entire team at Tractor Supply Company for their hospitality in hosting the event." — Bill Jones #CorporateGovernance #NACDNashville #BoardTransparency #ProxyProcess #InvestorActivism
