Description:

Customers are demanding companies improve in environmental and social areas.  So are employees.  But did you know that investors are also change agents?  On October 8, two top leaders from William Blair will present how one investment firm goes about encouraging companies to change behavior.  They will share specific examples of how investors are also making a major impact on business ... by voting their shares, by specifying what companies need to do to remain in an investment portfolio, and by raising the level of discussion to board rooms.

Guest Speakers:

·       Laura Coy (William Blair’s Journey e.g. our White Paper)
