Fred Clayton with fellow National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) Los Angeles board members at a recent luncheon at the California Club in Los Angeles co-hosted with the National Association of Corporate Directors. The program’s panel was secured by Fred and business partner Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire and featured corporate directors of Home Depot, Yum! Brands, WellPoint, CBS Corporation and Jack in the Box who addressed the 100 guests on the topic of “Board Accountability to Shareholders.”

Four leading board members of publicly traded companies and investor relations professionals shared their insight on the increasing need for board members to understand the views of investors of their companies. Especially in consideration of today’s shareholder activism and proxy scrutiny, this discussion cleared up some questions regarding the relationship between the company’s IRO and board members.
