NIRI Virtual Chapter Café Chat

For ALL NIRI Members

Thursday, May 22, 2025

12:00pm - 1:00pm ET

 

The NIRI Virtual Chapter invites all NIRI members to join us at 12:00 pm ET on Thursday, May 22, 2025. As part of our Café Chat series with key thought leaders, we are pleased to highlight NIRI National’s Advocacy initiatives. The discussion will feature NIRI National’s Advocacy leaders, led by Matt Brusch, President & CEO, and Niels Holch, VP, Public Policy & Advocacy. One of NIRI’s primary mission areas is advocacy on issues that impact the IR profession and public companies more broadly. This important function aggregates the opinion of NIRI’s diverse membership, representing every sector and market cap to bring your voice to the regulatory and legislative tables in Washington, D.C.

 

This key member benefit is particularly critical in today’s rapidly changing regulatory and legislative atmosphere. NIRI interfaces directly with the SEC and Congress and collaborates with other organizations on public policy impacting issuers, shareholders and IR. NIRI’s advocacy efforts harness the collective power of the IR community.

The diverse perspectives and potential policy changes associated with the many issues facing IROs, particularly given the current political climate, promise to lead to engaging and challenging discussions.
