Packard, are
poised to vote on a resolution that requires the
shareholders' majority vote to elect directors. In the
article, entitled "Fixing Corporate Boards", writer Marc
Gunther explains that the resolutions are intended to put
more pressure on the directors to serve as representatives
of the shareholders' interests.
"Once directors know they can be voted of office - not

stands to reason that they will do a better job than they
have in the past of representing the interests of corporate
owners."
