I teach a class twice a year on Corporate Accountability (shareholder proposals and more) with several guest speakers. Here is an out-dated announcement. The class is offered through the Renaissance Society, an extension program of California State University, Sacramento. The class is held on Zoom, so can be taken from anywhere with a good internet connection. The next class begins in September 2021. Registration begins in mid-August. If interested, you can email me at jm@corpgov.net and I can keep you posted.
