Scenes from the Dallas Chapter Round-up
Last Friday I attended the NASPP Dallas Chapter’s 5th Annual Southwest Roundup and Equity Compensation Workshop. It was my first time attending this event, so I took a few pictures for the blog and the NASPP’s Facebook page.
It was a great event with lots of informative presentations throughout the day. Kudos to the entire chapter board for putting together such a fantastic program. Pictured here are board members Stacey Langley of Spirit Realty Capital, J.D. Ivy of Alvarez & Marsal, and Patricia Fuentes of Merrill Lynch, along with president Fred Constantinesco (aka Freddy C.).
The keynote for the day was presented by Hector Picard of Don’tStopLiving.org. Hector has many impressive accomplishments, including completing multiple Ironman triathlons. He also lost both of his arms in a work-related accident (before the triathlons) and now devotes his life to helping and inspiring others. The Dallas chapter meeting was a stop on his “Tour to Inspire.”
The Aon team came prepared for Cinco de Mayo (the event was held on May 5) with a full mariachi band of rubber ducks. See a close-up of the ducks on the NASPP’s Facebook page.
In this picture: Patrick Gabel, Stephen Popowsk, Wesley Parker, and Dan Coleman of Aon. Also in the pic is Rebecca Kargl of Concho Resources. (Rebecca doesn’t work for Aon, but she was chatting with the team when I happened by with my camera.)
Ryan Moore of Stock & Options Solutions has an exciting array of giveaways for attendees to take home, all artistically arranged on his table.
The day concluded with a reception featuring, what else on Cinco de Mayo—margaritas! In this pic, Brittaney Reese of Gamestop, Janet Clements of Morgan Stanely, Suzanne Kraemer of Celanese Corporation, and Anton Sardos of Fluor catch up during the reception.
