Apple shareholders will re-elect board

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Feb 26th, 2009

Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Steve Jobs would not attend Apple's shareholder meeting, scheduled for this week. It would be the first one Steve missed in 10 years. Now, we've learned that the shareholders have decided to re-elect the Apple board.

As MacNN points out, I don't think this is a blatant attempt to re-consider Jobs' position as CEO (don't worry, the blogosphere will soon erupt with exactly that accusation), but more of a confidence-builder for investors and customers: Yes, we have a backup plan in place should Steve become unable to fulfill his current duties.

There's no word on when this vote will take place, and all current board members will be in place for at least one more year. As you probably remember, Steve Jobs took a leave of absence from Apple in January, scheduled to last until June of this year.

Apple shareholders to vote on green

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Apr 24th, 2007

Apple shareholders will vote on removing hazardous chemicals from the Apple product line at the upcoming May 10th annual meeting according to Macworld. Apple's board thinks Apple already has sufficient environmental standards and opposes the resolution, which was introduced by Trillium Asset Management of Boston. Trillium, an investment firm, specializes in "socially responsible investments". The chemicals in question include brominated flame retardents and polyvinyl chloride plastics.

Jobs talks media centers, recycling, and CRT's at shareholder meeting

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Apr 28th, 2006

Macworld spills the beans about what was said at Apple's shareholder meeting, and some interesting things were mentioned. Jobs said that of the products Apple has in the pipeline are, 'the best I’ve ever seen in my life.' He also said that he hears concerns about a media center 'loud and clear,' perhaps hinting that Apple will be delivering a full blown media center sooner rather than later (though that is pure conjecture). Jobs also said that the new MacBook Pros are 'bitchin.' Well said, Steve.

What would an Apple shareholder meeting be without a little PC bashing?  Responding to concerns about Apple's environmental record Jobs pointed out that Apple's new recycling program accepts PC's and Macs. Phil Schiller added, 'I think there are a lot of PCs that should be recycled'.  Oh, Phil, you scamp!

Thanks, Eric.
