Companies are stockpiling cash at a historic rate. Given the unprecedented low interest rate environment, investors and analysts are increasingly asking: what are you doing with your cash? Companies must determine the most optimal uses of available cash, especially in today’s market. Does it make more sense to reinvest internally? Or to distribute to shareholders by distributing dividends? Or buying back shares? Both?

Join us for a timely discussion regarding uses of cash and the subsequent returns on share prices. Mr. Meierhoffer presents an objective study of the different stock returns following alternative use of cash decisions.

IRO Program

All of us in investor relations - and at NIRI - recognize today's tough economic conditions. The Rocky Mountain NIRI chapter has a program in place to help support our members during these tough times. It is the IRO (Independent Resource Opportunity) program.

If your company does not reimburse you for attending NIRI meetings, or if you are not currently employed but want to network with other NIRI members and benefit from the educational programs, the IRO program is for you!

To qualify you must be an existing IRO (i.e., a practitioner) member or you must have been one within the past three years. On a first-come, first-served basis, you could be sponsored for $28 of the fee to attend the meeting. Therefore, if you are a member, normally paying $38 to attend, you would only pay $10. If you are a previous member attending now as a guest, rather than paying $55 to attend, you would pay only $27.

All you need to do is submit your confidential request for sponsorship to Heathe Cooper via phone at (303) 405-8326 or email at hcooper@curran-connors.com. Heathe will notify you whether or not you are one of the first five requests. You can be sponsored up to three times a year.

So don't let the fact that you may be unemployed, under-employed or not being reimbursed by your company keep you away from the NIRI Rocky Mountain Chapter meetings. Be one of the first five people to contact Heathe Cooper and you could be sponsored for the next NIRI meeting.
