Bob Iger Announces He will Not Step Down from the President’s Advisory Council

Disney recently hosted an investor meeting where the Orlando Sentinel reports Bob Iger spent the majority of his time being interviewed on politics instead of Disney.

According to The Orlando Sentinel, the meeting was meant to update investors on the status of the Walt Disney Company, and to vote on corporate business. Instead, investors took more of an interest in CEO Bob Iger’s involvement with President Trump’s advisory council. While recently there was a plea for Iger to step down from the council, he has announced he will be doing no such thing. He said while he does not agree with the President’s policies and ideas, that is exactly why he is needed on the council. He is quoted as saying it’s in the “best interest of our company and our industry to have an opportunity to express specific points of view directly to to the president of the United States,” at Wednesday’s meeting.

Also in regards to Immigration Policy, Iger stated that a policy “that is open to the world is, I think, something that is vital to the future success of The Walt Disney Co. and this country.”

What do you think of Iger’s announcement?
