Here is the full article: nvestor Relations Magazine Announces Winners of 1999 U.S. Awards General Electric, Colgate-Palmolive and Anadarko Petroleum Win Top Honors for Excellence in Investor Relations NEW YORK, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Investor Relations magazine, in association with BARRON'S, the Dow Jones Business and Financial Weekly, tonight announced the winners of the 1999 Investor Relations Magazine U.S. Awards recognizing superior investor relations (IR) at an awards gala at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. Investor relations is rapidly being recognized for its strategic importance to public companies looking for fair valuation in an increasingly competitive market. The winners of the NIRI Grand Prix for Best Overall Investor Relations are Anadarko Petroleum in the under $10 billion market cap category, Colgate-Palmolive in the $10 to $30 billion market cap category and General Electric in the over $30 billion category. The Grand Prix awards were sponsored by the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI), a professional association of corporate officers and investor relations consultants responsible for communication between corporate management, shareholders, security analysts and other financial publics. The gala dinner, hosted by Deborah Marchini, co-anchor of CNN's Business Day, was sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange and attracted nearly 700 members of the investor relations and financial communities from around the world. "Investor Relations magazine is honored to be hosting this gala to recognize those companies that are helping to set the highest standards for the blossoming investor relations practice," said Neil Stewart, North American editor of Investor Relations magazine. "As more investment professionals demand detailed information from more companies than ever before; as technology draws hordes of retail investors into the market; as volatility is pushed to the red line; and as all the stock-for-stock M&A activity makes maintaining stock price a strategic imperative, public companies have become increasingly dependent on their investor relations officers for expertise and guidance." Winners were announced in a total of 18 award categories that touch on all aspects of IR. In a major survey of over 1,700 investment professionals conducted by Rivel Research on behalf of Investor Relations magazine, the investment community nominated deserving companies across a range of IR activities. The award winners were kept secret until they were announced at tonight's gala. Detailed results of the survey will be published in the 1999 U.S. Research Report, providing insight into the investment community's attitudes toward IR and setting the standard for all IR practitioners, as judged by their most important audiences. The report is available from Investor Relations magazine to the public for $275 and to magazine subscribers for $245.
