Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, MUNCmedia. “However, we realized that many of our clients needed complementary guidance surrounding best practices in Investor Relations. Today’s battle-scarred individual investors are no longer the complacent Mom & Pop of just a few years ago,“ continued Smith. “They’re savvy Web 2.0 consumers of stock information. The deep expert network and education resources of NIRI will better equip small and micro-cap companies to speak with these sophisticated shareholders.”   Additionally, should you decide to join NIRI, the MUNCmedia Small-cap Scholarship includes a $150 savings off a full NIRI membership.
