CIRI has a 15-member Board of Directors who serve staggered 3-year terms. Each year shareholders vote at the company’s annual meeting, either in person or by proxy, to fill five Board seats.
Following the annual meeting, new Shareholder Participation Committee members were chosen by random drawing from the names of shareholders who indicated an interest in participating on a committee and correctly answered a questionnaire about CIRI. The new member names and questionnaire results will be published in the July issue of Raven’s Circle.
The annual meeting featured a business report by CIRI President and Chief Executive Officer Margie Brown. Shareholders approved the 2008 annual meeting minutes and listened to a keynote presentation from Sasha Lindgren with the Kenaitze Indian Tribe about the organization’s Russian River Research Center. CIRI’s Shareholder Participation Committee members updated shareholders on their purpose and activities throughout the year. Shareholders were treated to a performance by Bunny Swan-Gease.
