Talbots (TLB), was one of the stocks in my portfolio. Their annual meeting is coming up May 19. I didn’t realize I had sold it until I went through how I would have voted, so I’ll post it up.
ProxyDemocracy.org had only one fund voting, CBIS. MoxyVote.com had no voting advice. Checking the Summary Compensation Table shows the CEO/Chair, Trudy F. Sullivan, was paid about $6.3M, 
way over the median of $4.3 million for mid-caps as reported in the United States Proxy Exchange (USPX) released draft guidelines for say-on-pay voting. I would have voted with CBIS.
