Bank of America schedules vote on CEO / Chairman
Last fall Bank of America's (BAC) board added the "chairman" title to CEO Brian Moynihan's resume. That move required rewriting the company's bylaws and reversed a 2009 shareholder vote that required the chairman and CEO positions to be held by two different people. The bank has now called a special meeting for September 22 to allow shareholders to vote on this structure once again.
