Disney re-elects Steve Jobs to its board

Quote:
Bloomberg reports that Disney shareholders re-elected Steve Jobs to their board.

Quote:
The advisory group Glass Lewis & Co. recommended investors withhold support for Jobs, citing his absence from meetings. Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., stopping short of urging rejection, said Jobs's attendance and "recent leave of absence from his primary employer, raises questions about his ability to fulfill his responsibilities as a director."

Probably a better idea to get a new advisory group.

Disney said, "The Walt Disney Company considers itself fortunate to have Steve Jobs as a member of its board of directors."

That's more like it. Jobs with Disney CEO Bob Iger up top.

I am glad he got re-elected, I know I sent in my proxy vote for him. I meant to listen in on the live webcast of the shareholders meeting and I completely forgot about it. Oh well they don't seem to listen to the smaller shareholders anyway, but they seem to be doing OK without my input. laugh As long as they keep a good ROI. (which they have)

I'm not a fan of what Steve Jobs' influence did in the new Disney Stores (they seem kind of flat to me), but I do think he's brilliant and will continue to take Disney in a positive direction. Thanks for the news Mase!
