P.M. BRIEFING : United Shareholders Elect Cox
Charles C. Cox, an economist and former Securities and Exchange commissioner, has been named chairman of the United Shareholders Assn., a nationwide shareholders’ rights group.
Cox will succeed Texas oil man T. Boone Pickens, who founded the group in 1986. Pickens will continue his affiliation with the 64,000-member group.
The appointment of Cox, who will take over Oct. 1, was announced late Monday at the group’s annual meeting in Washington.
Cox, 45, the first economist to be appointed a member of the SEC, stepped down in September, 1989, to join a Chicago consulting firm. He had been a member of the independent commission for nearly six years. Before that he had been the SEC’s chief economist since September, 1982.
