NIRI Seattle - March 11, 2008 Chapter Meeting

Optimize your IR Web site

Topic

Are you planning to submit your IR Web site to be judged against others at the upcoming NIRI-Seattle annual communication awards contest and gala event in June? Does your IR Web site leave investors wanting more? How does your Web site address the SEC’s regulation on internet availability of proxy materials (notice and access)?

If you want information and tips on how to get the most out of your IR Web site, the Seattle chapter of NIRI invites you to join us on March 11 for a luncheon program on best practices for Web disclosure that will answer these and other questions you may have.
