The San Francisco Chapter of the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) was founded in 1977, making it one of the oldest, most established local NIRI chapters. Our chapter includes more than 100 corporate practitioners, IR consultants and IR-related service providers, resulting in a dynamic mix of IR professionals dedicated to promoting the practice of investor relations within the business and financial communities. We provide creative and substantive programs to our members in order that they may continue to pursue "Best Practices" in the field of investor relations -- and we aim to do this in a casual setting that is conducive to networking and professional development.
