NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The New York Chapter of the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI NY) held its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, June 21, at which it announced the newly elected Chapter Officers and Directors for the 2016-2017 term and recapped the highlights of a successful 2015-2016 season.
NIRI NY Board President, Theresa Molloy, commented, “Through the energy and commitment of our members, board of directors, volunteers, and partners, the 2015-2016 program season was one of NIRI NY’s most accomplished. Over 600 participants attended our chapter’s educational programs and workshops, social and networking events, senior leadership dinners, IRO roundtables, and a half-day leadership seminar. Through the support of our partners, we enhanced our online presence, functionality and resources. We launched the NIRI
Headliners video series produced by Business
Wire, redesigned the NIRI
NY chapter website developed by Q4, and introduced the NIRI
NY app hosted by theIRapp. And to meet the needs of up and coming IR professionals, we created NIRI
NY NextGen, offering networking events and programs tailored to those who are newer to the IR community. I am honored to have led the New York chapter this past year and to have worked with a talented and vibrant group to advance NIRI NY’s influence and success.”
