APC’s Jon Barnett gives his impression and recap of the annual meeting, which he attended last week.
Packers shareholders braved the elements to sit in Lambeau Field for the annual shareholders meeting. Just about everyone, including all the owners in attendance, voted their shares by proxy. There were some owners who did enter their votes for members on the Board of Directors right in the Atrium.
The biggest draws were clearly the speeches by Ted Thompson and Mark Murphy. The news that very quickly made it to ESPN and other sports news outlets was the announcement that the Packers have applied to host the NFL Draft for 2019, 2020 and 2021.
