NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The New York Chapter of the National Investor Relations Institute
(NIRI-NY) announced today that on Thursday, May 28 the chapter will hold
a half-day event on "IR Leadership: Mastering Trust, Integrity &
Credibility." The program, which will be hosted by Credit Suisse at its
offices at 11 Madison Avenue in New York City, will address how
credibility and ethical challenges intersect with the role of the
investor relations officer (IRO).
The half-day program will feature an interview with Anne M. Mulcahy,
former Xerox CEO, board member of Johnson & Johnson and Target
Corporation, and one of America's most respected corporate leaders. Ms.
Mulcahy will share personal strategies that guided her through her
extraordinary career, including fostering organizational loyalty and

The program will begin with a luncheon featuring Ben Boyd, President,
Practices, Sectors & Offerings at Edelman, who will share the results of

annual trust and credibility survey. Mr. Boyd will explore how the
survey's findings can impact a company's business and the IRO role. An
afternoon workshop focusing on how IRO's deal with ethical dilemmas will
be led by Thomas Donaldson, Professor of Legal Studies and Business
Ethics at the Wharton School of Business. The program will conclude with
the interview with Ms. Mulcahy, followed by a networking reception.
