Board-recommended candidates
Committed to progressMost corporations had a tough year as the worldwide economy stumbled in 2008. Stability and leadership are very important at this critical moment in U.S. financial history. CIRI’s Board recommended candidates are committed to progress and to moving ahead with corporate profitability and cultural sustainability. "CIRI's Best Days Lie Ahead" - read the Board-recommended slate of candidates' message of April 21, 2009
"In times like these, it's nice to have reliable CIRI dividends. The Board spent a lot of time on the dividend policy a few years back with an eye toward helping our fellow shareholders through the rough times by creating a dividend structure that is stable and dependable."
"Businesses have to be agile and ready to take advantage of market conditions. CIRI's cash reserves are strong and I expect there to be a lot of competitively priced acquisition opportunities because of the current poor economy. I think the next few years look really exciting for CIRI."
"As everyone has seen on the news, the world economy is in an unprecedented recession. Fortunately, our CIRI executive team and Board of Directors have diversified CIRI's investments so that we have fared better than many other corporations. I believe our future is bright."
"The federal stimulus package could contain some great business opportunities for CIRI. My experience with federal contracting will help the Board develop sound policies for growing CIRI's government contracting business. We have a lot to be optimistic about."
"Like nearly everyone else, I was disgusted to read about executives at some other corporations and their 'golden parachutes,' lavish corporate retreats and private jets during a time when shareholders were losing money. CIRI executives didn't take bonuses this year. I think that is commendable and was the right decision."
