At its annual chapter achievement ceremony in Seattle on June 2nd, The National Investor Relations Institute honored the NIRI Houston chapter with its Chairman’s Award for the WidgeCo case study on crisis communications which ran at the NIRI Southwest Regional Conference in San Antonio in August 2011. The NIRI Capital Chapter was given the best special event award for its iteration of the WidgeCo case study on shareholder activism also last August.
WidgeCo, a fictitious manufacturer of widgets to the defense, marine and electronic industries, was the original creation of NIRI Houston. The workshops based around the company and its colorful cast of executives and board members have proved to be an effective action-learning forum to educate participants in areas of shareholder activism avoidance, corporate governance and crisis communication.
