With Business Wire’s support, CIRI will continue to develop resources, deliver professional development events, provide networking opportunities and advocate on behalf of the investor relations profession.

“This year marks a decade of working with Business Wire to support the Canadian investor relations community. This long-standing commitment demonstrates their exceptional leadership and enables us to advance the practice and stature of the profession together,” said Yvette Lokker, President & CEO, CIRI. “Supporting the profession is particularly important amidst the COVID-19 pandemic as we are in unchartered territory. Issuer practices must adapt and brainstorming with peers and learning from their experiences has never been more important. Now is the time for IROs to leverage CIRI’s community and resources so we can get through this together.”

“We are in unprecedented times as we manage the COVID-19 pandemic, and leveraging experience from professional relationships built through CIRI has never been more important. Business Wire is proud to have grown our national strategic partnership with CIRI over the past 10 years and looks forward to supporting CIRI for another decade,” said Greg Blazina, Head of Canada, Business Wire. “Our partnership with CIRI is a testament to our focus on serving the Canadian capital markets and has enabled us to experience significant growth in Canada over the past decade, specifically with publicly traded companies.”
