[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8897430, member: 4348"] I think it depends on how high a percentage you have, or I suppose (edit, though I think anyone can be part of a group or association no matter how much stock they own, this association also acts as representation. You see these various groups as percentage stockholders in many companies). I get letters and questions on how I want votes to go and such to send in at times (I think everyone gets these, I've gotten them for years). If there is a big vote, can have someone stand in rather than going in (on some of the stocks I have). In theory, every one is represented, but not every thing done at the board is presented to everyone (I know there are things I didn't know about with some stocks I own that have gone on). For something that gets that specific you would have someone to represent you. I have my representative that I go through for all my stock handling. This is NOT someone at a company (as far as I know they aren't with any specific company other than their own, though they may be involved with various companies), and it is not a stock broker. They specifically represent my interests on my larger holdings in those companies. They have specific contacts they can talk to if I have something I want to convey. These guys are normally attorneys or something similar that represent you or a group to the board. At least that's how I handle most of my stuff, I can't speak for everyone...obviously. [/QUOTE]
