There were a fair few surprises in the 2025 proxy season. The largest by far was the SEC’s decision to implement new restrictions on permissible shareholder resolutions in the middle of an ongoing proxy season.

In reply to Baggins. I agree mostly.I’m thinking that if someone wants to fight for the industry, if it’s not too late , the 2 examples of appraisers not losing in court could be evidence that bias is not rampant.the Lanham case which was covered nationally, NYT, ABC and many others was Relman and Connolly’s CASE CLOSED claim.Relman hung their hat on Connolly pushing a national narrative that the industry is racist.trust me.they searched deep for a smoking gun but turned up nothing…Junia Howells

In reply to Steve. Question; What’s the ratio of all appraisers caught up in settled and pending accusations combined, vs these two ‘winning’ cases? A thousand to one ratio? You’d think the appraisal trade groups would have stepped in and helped. Or the insurers would have helped more and refused to settle, to cut off additional repeat claims.
