CII’s board of directors appoints the members and leaders of the 2026 Markets Advisory Council

Sodali is proud to congratulate Matthew Vahidi on his appointment to the Council of Institutional Investors (CII) Markets Advisory Council.

This is a well‑deserved recognition of the experience, leadership, and perspective he brings to our industry. This selection speaks to the trust placed in his judgment and the meaningful impact he will have as part of this group. 

The primary purpose of the CII Markets Advisory Council is to provide input on legal, financial reporting and investment market trends, suggest topics/speakers for upcoming CII meetings and teleconferences, and recommend current and future CII activities that promote and enhance the value of CII membership. The CII board appoints the members annually and all are representatives of Associate Member organizations.

CII highlighted the 2026 appointments in their members‑only newsletter last week underscoring the importance of this work and the caliber of leaders chosen to contribute. We're thrilled to see his name among them and even more excited for the insights he’ll bring to the broader governance community.

This is a remarkable achievement and reflects his commitment to advancing effective markets and strong investor stewardship.
