Abstract: The movement to give shareholders greater say on executive compensation marked a watershed on May 5, 2008. At its annual shareholder meeting, Aflac, the large insurer, became the first major American company to give investors a vote on how senior managers are paid. Pay packages for the top five executives passed resoundingly. But some corporate governance experts and activist shareholders said there might not be too many more moments like it. Neal Gerber Eisenberg partner and Corporate Governance Practice Group chair, Claudia H. Allen, is quoted in a May 5, 2008 Washington Post article.
