Corby Distilleries Limited Selects BoardVantage
Leading Canadian spirits and wines company using BoardVantage to run board meetings
Menlo Park, CA (May 18, 2007)—Corby Distilleries Limited, a leading Canadian manufacturer and marketer of spirits and importer of wines, has selected the BoardVantage board portal to manage its board communications. In less than two weeks, Corby went live and used BoardVantage real-time to run a board meeting — navigating through materials and projecting them on a screen to facilitate discussions. According to Marc Valencia, Corby Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, "We wanted to speed the delivery of our board materials to our directors. We selected BoardVantage given its ease of use, extensive functionality, and security. We particularly liked BoardVantage's click-thru agenda capability that allows us to navigate through materials quickly, including during meetings themselves." Corby will use BoardVantage to assemble, update, and distribute board materials, and to provide directors and executives with global access to documents. They will also use BoardVantage in their efforts to "go paperless" with their board communications. "We are delighted to add Corby Distilleries to our customer list," said Joe Ruck, President and CEO of BoardVantage.
