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).

I want to know how Bill Campbell can sit on the board while Quicken for Mac is such an error ridden, non-supported piece of garbage. You’d think he for one would CARE that he’s on the board of a company when his companies products limp along, corrupt user data, and who’s support is atrocious…
But I guess the paycheck makes up for all that apathy…
