I am of the opinion -- and I would dearly loved to be proved wrong -- 
that how we, as individual investors vote doesn't amount to much more 
than a spit in the ocean. The real power comes from the institutions, 
such as the Calif. pension funds, etc. that are just now starting to 
exercise that power. Some of these institutions are pushing for better 
corporate governance, reasonable CEO pay, etc.and an end to the 
interlocking directorships of cronies.
also, have you ever noticed how many non-business people get on boards? 
People who run non-profits, arts organizations, etc. Hello? What 
expertise do people like Jesse Jackson (extreme example) have to offer 
to a corporation?
