BulletProofBlog the blog on crisis communications

Recent rules issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have set a new standard of transparency and accountability for the 2010 proxy season. But with investor confidence still reeling from global financial meltdown, the foremost challenge for public companies as annual meetings begin isn’t simple compliance; it is finding ways to go above and beyond what is required in order to articulate leadership at a time of drastic change.

In this month’s edition of Levick’s High Stakes™ e-newsletter, we outline how best to tackle the issues most likely to generate investor concerns during the 2010 proxy season and how best to prepare for SEC and congressional actions in 2011.

Of particular interest, this issue of High Stakes™ features an in-depth interview with top corporate governance expert Todd Lang of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as well as a look at the best blogs covering proxy issues.

I invite all of you to check it out.
