Martha Carter, who heads the design of corporate governance policies at RiskMetrics, recently gave a presentation at the Shareholder Activism class here at Harvard Law School. In her talk, Carter offered an assessment of last year’s proxy season; the issues likely to arise during the coming proxy season; and an account of the issues receiving the most attention from investors.

A video of Martha’s talk is available for download here. The materials accompanying her initial remarks can be viewed online here.
