cating for critical reforms necessitates ongoing and informed engagement with relevant stakeholders. We have a great opportunity to use our collective voice to make more progress in 13F reporting, proxy advi- sory relations, and public company representation.” Fatma Sardina, Financial Analyst at Copart,
Inc. says, “It’s clear there is a significant educa- tional effort required to build awareness, not only around the rationale behind our initiatives but also about the role of investor relations professionals. I’m optimistic that with the right communication strategies, these initiatives will gain traction and lead to meaningful change.” NIRI thanks all of the participants in this year’s
