Entity Management In Real Time
With over 30 years of experience in the legal field, and in my current role as Assistant Corporate Secretary with Rayonier (which is organized as a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)), I have seen the scope of work for the Office of the Corporate Secretary broaden over time ' from a strictly board and legal focus, to now include corporate governance activities and related administration. My primary responsibilities include assisting the Corporate Secretary with oversight of insider trading, SEC and NYSE compliance, preparing Board of Directors and committee materials and annual disclosure documents, and also acting as liaison between management and the board. I have additional accountability for monitoring and updating information gathered on various corporate governance databases, supervision of subsidiaries with respect to filings, annual reports, and management of the subsidiary data base, as well as the annual shareholders' meeting.
