Stodgy Boardrooms: A Thing of the Past with First Ever Governance Video Podcast

The Value Alliance and AthenaOnline have partnered to put relevant governance information into the hands of directors…literally. The world's first ever video podcast on board governance topics covers recent regulatory, accounting and liability matters, issues related to compensation, shareholder relations, and corporate social responsibility and trends to expect in the future.

Westerville, OH (PRWEB) February 2, 2006 -- Apple's new video iPods have exploded onto the marketplace with millions of units sold since their launch in October 2005. Up until now, much of the content available for iPods and other handheld devices was music and entertainment based. But the potential for these devices is much greater. In fact it is seen as such a tremendous growth area that Apple recently announced it will be expanding its iTunes program to include high level educational content.

Now bringing iTunes to the Boardroom, The Value Alliance (http://www.thevaluealliance.com) and AthenaOnline (http://www.athenaonline.com) have partnered to put relevant governance information into the hands of directors…literally. The world's first ever video podcast on board governance topics covers recent regulatory, accounting and liability matters, issues related to compensation, shareholder relations, and corporate social responsibility and trends to expect in the future.

Imagine directors reviewing governance best practices on their iPods or handheld devices around the boardroom, the office, or even the kitchen table! The Value Alliance governance video podcasts now make that possible.

To view the first ever governance video podcast, go to iTunes or The Value Alliance website at http://www.thevaluealliance.com (http://www.thevaluealliance.com).
