Mission and Goals
Definition of Investor Relations
Investor relations is a strategic management responsibility that integrates finance,
communication, marketing and securities law compliance to enable the most effective
two-way communication between a company, the financial community, and other
constituencies, which ultimately contributes to a company's securities achieving
fair valuation. (Adopted by the NIRI Board of Directors, March 2003.)
