Jon Solorzano is joined by Catherine Moyer (Head of Americas Stewardship at Northern Trust), Christine Chow (Special Advisor, Canbury Insights), and Gregory Elders (Director, North America, Canbury Insights). Panelists cover the structural changes in how the SEC handles No-Action requests, escalating debates over the erosion of traditional corporate governance protections, the chilling effect of 13D guidance on institutional engagement, and more.

- AI in the Room: How artificial intelligence is reshaping stewardship meetings, engagement outreach, and boardroom oversight
- The Horizon: High-stakes implications if shareholders lose core rights to file proposals or vote on pay
