Verité is very pleased to announce that Mike Musuraca has joined our Board of Directors.  Mike is a long-time leader in the effort to link improvements in labor rights with investment performance, first as Designated Trustee on the Investment and Proxy Committees to the New York City Employees Retirement System (NYCERS), a 300,000 plus member pension fund with assets of almost $40 billion, and currently as a Managing Director of Blue Wolf Capital Management in New York City.

Mike has previously served as Assistant Director in the Department of Research and Negotiations for District Council 37 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), of the AFL-CIO.  Mike has also served as a member of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Board, and as the labor representative to the New York City Independent Budget Office.  He currently serves on the board of the Shareholder Education Network.

We are thrilled to have someone of Mike’s integrity and depth of experience join our Board.  He will be particularly valuable as Verité continues to work to strengthen the influence of pension funds and other investors in support of labor protections as implemented by companies and governments around the world.
