I originally created this site in response to increasing Expense Ratios for the CREF Variable Annuity accounts. The main reason for this incarnation of the site is to support my re-submission of the Proxy Proposal I first presented at the 2005 CREF Annual Meeting. It will be voted on at the 2022 CREF [not-so] Annual Meeting. Please click on the first blue-background link below if that is the main reason for your visit today.

If you own a few thousand dollars of a CREF VA account, you'll get a paper copy of the proxy statement yourself, or perhaps an emailed link to it. The proxy card has six unique ID numbers that you use to log into the third-party voting site to enter your votes. Here's an example ballot, as marked by me:

I've posted an image of the ballot on the Why Vote Yes? page, the first link below.
