About corpgov.net

James McRitchie has published CorpGov.Net, a popular corporate governance portal since 1995. According to the Council of Institutional Investors, McRitchie’s 2002 SEC petition "re-energized" the debate over proxy access to nominate directors. His articles have appeared in At Work, Business Ethics, The Corporate Board, Corporate Secretary, Directorship and International Corporate Governance. McRitchie is frequently quoted in the press and has addressed audiences in Asia and Europe, funded by business associations, the Asian Development Bank and the U.S. State Department. CorpGov.net named as one of top 25 business blogs for last two years by Lexis-Nexis. McRitchie named as "person to watch" (probably because of the trouble I can create) but the National Association of Corporate Directors for last two years. Interests: Recently, I’ve been working on systems to further empower retail shareholders such as ProxyDemocracy.org, proxyexchange.org, and VoterMedia.org. I also have a long-standing interest in creating more democratic corporate governance structures, with clearer avenues for participation and lines of accountability at corporations, funds and regulators.
