NIRI Silicon Valley, with around two hundred members, is the third largest NIRI chapter in the U.S., after the New York and Virtual chapters. Silicon Valley’s diverse range of businesses are reflected in the membership, with IROs from companies large and small, from pre-IPO to decades-long market dominance. They represent industries from social media to software and semiconductors, and from finance to pharmaceuticals. The NIRI Silicon Valley Chapter was formed to advance the practice of investor relations within the local business environment. In keeping with this mission, the Chapter focuses on IR education, mentoring, and networking with the broad professional community. Our goal is to further the skills of our members, to expand their business opportunities, to increase Chapter membership, and to foster an environment that promotes IR learning for all.
