Board of Directors financial
"its Board of Directors elected Tali Farhadian to Con Edison’s Board of Directors"
The Board of Directors is a group of people chosen by a company's owners to help make big decisions and oversee how the company is run. They act like a team of advisors or managers, making sure the company stays on track and meets its goals. Their choices can influence the company's success and how it grows.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee financial
"the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Boards, effective July 1, 2026"
A corporate governance and nominating committee is a group of independent board members who set rules for how a company is run and choose or vet candidates for the board and senior leadership. Think of them as the company’s rulebook authors and hiring panel for its top oversight team; their choices and policies influence management accountability, risk oversight and investor confidence, so investors watch them for signs of strong leadership and transparency.
Safety, Environment, Operations and Sustainability Committee financial
"appointed to the Safety, Environment, Operations and Sustainability Committee"
proxy statement regulatory
"described under “Director Compensation” in Con Edison’s proxy statement for its 2026 annual meeting"
A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.
Trustee other
"Ms. Farhadian serves as a Trustee of the New York Public Library since 2018"
A trustee is a person or institution legally appointed to hold and manage assets or enforce an agreement on behalf of other people (beneficiaries). Think of a trustee as a neutral referee or custodian who must act in the beneficiaries’ best interests, follow the trust or contract rules, and handle distributions, recordkeeping and enforcement. Investors care because a trustworthy trustee protects their rights, ensures promised payments or remedies are delivered, and can influence recoveries if things go wrong.
