This session will address the traditional proxy voting responsibilities
of bank fiduciaries, as well as the enhanced responsibilities of
investment advisers who are subject to robust SEC regulations regarding
proxy voting. We will review the steps involved in developing and
implementing a strong proxy voting compliance program and will consider
whether bank fiduciaries should join other bankers who have decided to
incorporate SEC proxy voting requirements as a best business practice.
