Shareholder Interest, 2010
Next Project →To participate in the operation and management of the electrical grid in New York City, and to satisfy our own curiosity, Publicworks Office acquired 15 shares of Consolidated Edison stock; as a publicly-traded company, ConEd is required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to hold annual meetings for shareholders. And now, Publicworks Office can attend those meetings, cast votes, and ask questions of CEO Kevin Burke. Refreshments are served.
To date, Publicworks Office has participated in the election of directors; approval of the accountant-of-record (PriceWaterhouseCoopers); and a stockholder proposal for additional compensation information to be published in the proxy statement.
We have heard Kevin Burke answer questions ranging from the impact of future energy regulation to the return of broken fluorescent light bulbs, and respond to concerns expressed by non-unionized contract employees.
In addition to the annual report, shareholders in attendance at the annual meeting have received energy-saving foam seals for leaky electrical sockets and ConEd-branded backpacks.
