The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research’s Center for Legal Policy, a conservative, market-orientated think tank, launched a new proxy monitoring resource: ProxyMonitor.org. This searchable database of shareowner proposals at the 100 largest U.S. companies over the past three years could be a valuable resource for management and shareowner activists alike. Sort through the data by company, industry, proponent and proposal type.
The Center intends to expand the database over time. For example, in three mouse clicks you can see that there were 32 shareholder proposals on executive compensation submitted to companies in the health care industry between 2008 and 2010. Want to know what proposals John Chevedden, Ray Chevedden and the Chevedden Family Trust have placed in front of shareowners? ProxyMonitor.org allows you to quickly identify 32 and to pull them up with a few clicks. Interested in reviewing the resolutions on executive compensation? You can quickly identify 217 and read each.
I found ProxyMonitor.org such a valuable tool, I’ve added it to our links page under both Proxy Voting/Monitoring and Shareowner Action.
