NEW YORK (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co. Chairman George Mitchell said Friday he had outlined broad CEO succession planning at a meeting with six state pension funds and would consider their suggestions when choosing a new board member this year.
Disney directors met with representatives of six funds from California, New York, Connecticut, Ohio and North Carolina that had led a protest vote at the March 3 annual meeting.
Chief Executive Michael Eisner, who was stripped of the chairman role after that March 3 meeting, did not attend Friday's meeting in New York between Mitchell and the pension funds.
