BOSTON (Reuters) - New York City Comptroller Scott
Stringer is wielding more clout as he presses more than 150 U.S.

emailed by his staff to Reuters this week, he said he had gained
leverage in the diversity campaign from a three-year-old push for
companies to adopt so-called proxy access rules that give outside
investors more power to nominate corporate board directors.

by investors, Stringer is now seeking more disclosures about the race
and gender of current directors and their skill mix, the statement said.
