Please join the NIRI Virtual Chapter and the Society for Corporate Governance on October 9th to learn about NIRI's legislative and regulatory priorities, takeaways from NIRI's upcoming meetings with Congress and the SEC and hear how you can get involved in NIRI's ongoing advocacy efforts. This timely update follows on the heels of NIRI’s annual “DC Fly-in,” covering the key activities in Congress impacting the industry, new regulations, and implementation plans, and NIRI's legislative priorities, as well as the top issues the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance is focusing on now.

Specific topics covered in the webinar will include:

Legislative Update:

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Discuss how members of Congress and the SEC are approaching and working on the top legislative issues most important to public companies as mentioned above.
• Explain how IROs can educate their senior management on these top issues and support NIRI in its efforts to support legislative and regulatory initiatives beneficial to public companies.
• Review how IROs can work with other constituencies, including other parts of their organizations as well as NIRI National and other NIRI chapters, to advance these important issues.

The NIRI Virtual Chapter’s Advocacy Chair, Laura Guerrant-Oiye, will be moderating this event. If you have any questions that you would like to have addressed in advance, please reach out at Advocacy@NIRIVirtual.org. We are working in tandem with NIRI National as well as other NIRI chapters to ensure that we are working from a common platform to address issues most relevant to our members.
