Apple Shareholders Re-elect Board at Annual Meeting

At today's annual shareholders meeting the entire eight member board was re-elected despite concerns over the way it handled Steve Jobs' health issues and four proposals were voted down.

The eight board members include; Al Gore Jr. (chair of Alliance for Climate Protection, Generation Investment Management, and Current TV), Steve Jobs (Apple's CEO), Andrea Jung (CEO of Avon), Arthur Levinson (CEO of Genentech), Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google), Jerome York (CEO of Harwinton Capital), Bill Campbell (CEO of software maker Intuit), and Millard "Mickey" Drexler (CEO of retailer J. Crew).

In addition shareholders also voted down four proposals put forward by investors who have a large enough share in Apple to suggest major changes in company operation.

The proposals can be seen in the proxy documents starting on page 39 (document page 41).
