- Build coalitions among shareholder rights organizations,
chambers of commerce, professional stockbroker associations,
and government;

corporate governance practices;
- Provide information produced by international organizations
on corporate governance;
- Assist Committees for the Protection of Shareholder Rights;
- Organize roundtables and seminars targeted to the media
and the general public;
- Organize roundtables starting from zero; i.e., assuming
no knowledge whatsoever of corporate governance principles;
- Work with regional and local government officials. Win
their support by explaining how good corporate governance
will increase tax revenue available for local communities;
- Work with lawyers and consultants in protecting minority
shareholder rights;
- Work to counter the public relations disinformation produced
by PR firms and paid for by Russian companies that flagrantly
violate shareholder rights
- Emphasize the connection between good corporate governance
and market liquidity. Good corporate governance and investor-friendly
stock markets encourage investment. Conversely, poor corporate
governance discourages investment. As a result, stock markets
see little trading. Thus, stock market brokers and other
professionals have a direct interest in promoting active
trading and an indirect but clear interest in good corporate
governance on the part of issuers
