Next Chapter Meeting - Meeting Postponed

Climate change and other sustainability challenges can have a wide-ranging impact on U.S. companies. Extreme weather events, regulatory measures to reduce carbon emissions, and the increasing demand for climate-friendly technology are just a few examples of how climate-related issues are capturing the attention of both companies and their investors.

Please join us for a discussion with Anne Kelly, Ceres' Director of Governance Programs, on the risks of climate change and how we can help boards and management deal with the emerging issues. We will also explore:

• The legal, investor and reputational impact of climate change
• Public disclosure practices and expectations from the investor community
• Management and board leading oversight practices
• Investor advocacy in the upcoming proxy season

Anne Kelly is an environmental attorney with twenty years of experience in the private sector and in state and federal regulatory agencies. Currently she is the Director of Governance Programs at Ceres, a non-profit coalition of investors and public interest groups working toward sustainable prosperity.

Prior to joining Ceres, Ms. Kelly was the Director of the Massachusetts Environmental Strike Force, a specialized unit of the Attorney General's Office dedicated to bringing criminal and civil actions against major environmental violators. She also served as Special Assistant to John DeVillars, Regional Administrator of EPA New England.
