Council of Institutional Investors

Committees

The Council of Institutional Investors' committees provide members with opportunities to get involved and engage with other members on a variety of issues. Additional information on each committee is available in our Members Dashboard.

Policies Committee
The Policies Committee is comprised of the non-officer members of CII's Board of Directors. The committee reviews, maintains and updates CII policies on corporate governance and other issues. CII corporate governance policies set standards or recommend practices that members believe companies and boards of directors should adopt to promote accountability, independence, integrity, rigor and transparency. The Policies Committee proposes policies to the full board for its approval. All CII policies must be approved by the U.S. Asset Owner Members. For more information, contact staff liaison Glenn Davis.

Chair: Ron Baker, Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association

Its purpose is to encourage members to discuss and recommend current and future member initiatives and CII activities that promote effective corporate governance and increase the participation of CII members in advocating for good corporate governance. For more information, contact staff liaison Rosemary Lally.

Chair: Renaye Manley, Service Employees International Union

International Governance Committee

The International Governance Committee is open to all CII members and informed by input from a smaller steering committee. The committee educates members on topical global governance issues and identifies and recommends potential areas for CII involvement in the non-U.S. corporate governance arena. It also works to expand coordination and communication between CII and various international governance organizations.
