TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2013 /CNW/ - Is your company considering adopting changes to its disclosure and proxy process for the 2014 season?

Panellists will also review 2013 proxy topics, such as say on pay, and discuss disclosure issues that have recently impacted issuers. Be part of this timely and interactive discussion designed to help make 2014 a smoother proxy season.
