Mission

Dear NIRI San Diego,

Are you ready for 2018? As we progress quickly into the new year looking ahead to our personal, professional and corporate goals, your NIRI San Diego board is off to the races. As of Jan. 1, San Diego is home to approximately 80 publicly traded companies, with an aggregate market cap of $220 billion. By my estimate, six to ten more local companies are eyeing an IPO. And whether or not they all debut in 2018, the demand for strong investor relations practitioners and counselors in San Diego is certainly evident.

Testimonials

“

Why NIRI San Diego? This network is invaluable. I find that whatever IR issues I face, other NIRI members have been through something similar and are happy to share their experiences and insights.”

- Debra Hart

“

NIRI San Diego provided an instant network of IR professionals that were ready and willing to provide advice when something came up that was new to me. Having been a sell side analyst for a number of years, I had some gaps to fill in managing the corporate side of IR after I made the career shift. My association with NIRI has proven to be a valuable resource.”

- Robert H. Uhl

NIRI has been invaluable to me in my career growth – my hope is that I can somehow pay it forward.”
