National Investor Relations Institute Names Four New Fellows
NIRI Fellows Recognition Program Honors Distinguished
Investor Relations Professionals
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) today announced its 2016 class of four new NIRI Fellows.
The NIRI Fellows Recognition Program honors NIRI members who have distinguished themselves through their leadership within NIRI as well as the professional standards to which they have abided and their involvement and contributions to the IR profession throughout their careers. Those selected as “NIRI Fellows” are highly engaged individuals who have elevated the profession throughout their careers and whose sustained commitment has led to continued service as subject-matter experts and leaders in education, selection-committee participants, authors, and thought leaders within the Institute and the field of investor relations.
“We are thrilled to honor these four exemplary professionals for their commitment and contributions to the profession of investor relations,” said James M. Cudahy, President and Chief Executive Officer of NIRI. “These influential individuals join a very select group of investor relations professionals that have received the NIRI Fellows designation since the program’s inception in 2013. We will honor them at the NIRI 2016 Annual Conference in San Diego, June 6-8.
“The 2016 class of NIRI Fellows is unique in that it includes former longtime NIRI CEO, Lou Thompson, who, though nominated some months ago, unfortunately passed away in late March before NIRI could bestow this honor upon him,” Cudahy continued. “Lou’s influence within the profession was far reaching, from his warm and welcoming interactions with members and potential members, to growing the NIRI membership over his 24 year tenure, to his ability to bring NIRI to the regulatory table, to actually developing IR into the distinct and respected profession that it is today. He will truly be missed.”
