New Programs
Proposals of candidates for
Direct AccessTM
events,
or for other public or private programs
addressing company-specific investor decisions,
will be welcomed for confidential review.
Resuming its original focus on
company-specific issues,
including public Direct Access
events as well as private programs,
the Forum provides a unique
resource for convening all of the relevant constituencies
to define and support marketplace
interests in the effective use of investors' capital.
Future attention to general policy
issues will be addressed
primarily through Forum support of
programs managed by educational
institutions.
