My name is Sharon Staub Minor. I was raised in Maryland and currently live Florida. My family, including myself, consists of past public service employees including teachers, state workers & many generations were in the military. All of whom had retirement accounts and/or investments. I’m writing to you today in strong support “to safeguard the retirements of the 14 million-plus public servants contributing to pension plans” with the proposed proxy-voting system changes. I believe this rule will ensure the boards set in place to protect our investments and implement their fiduciary responsibilities; without political agendas in the board rooms. Currently, I no longer have investment an account, although I have met with my bank manager a few months ago to obtain referral information. My eldest Son recently retired from the military, 22 years. Not only does he have retirement funds for hisself and his wife, he’s invested for each daughter before they turned a year old. The eldest is currently a Sophomore in college the youngest, 4 years old. Once again, I sincerely applaud and greatly support you to ensure investments are made on the basis of accurate & timely information. We cannot let these proxy advisory firms continue to fail at their fiduciary responsibilities! Sent from my iPad
