The ISS Scorecard, Easy Street, and Baseball
What does the ISS equity plan scorecard have to do with life on easy street and baseball? All three of these things were part of the Philadelphia and DC/VA/MD chapters’ half day meeting on June 18. I attended the meeting, in my role as Executive Director and official NASPP photographer. Here are some pics from the day:
The half-day meeting was held at Urban Outfitter’s headquarters in the old naval yards in Philadelphia. This ship was outside the main entrance to the office. If you’ve never seen the Urban Outfitter’s office, it’s a pretty cool place (see my pics from the last time I attended a Philly chapter meeting there).
A big thank-you to Urban Outfitters for providing the space and another big thank-you to AST and Fidelity for sponsoring the meeting.
Here we have John Hammond of BendyStraw and Dan Kapinos of Radford. Dan is the current Philly chapter president and John is a former president. Kudos to the boards of both the Philly and DC/VA/MD meetings for organizing such a great event (even managing to get the rain to stop just before the baseball game started).
Lots of awesome prizes were raffled off to attendees, including themed gift baskets for all of the regions represented by the two chapters.
Emily Cervino of Fidelity and Laura Wanless of Aon Hewitt, two of the presenters for the day.
The day started off with a panel on “Everything You Need to Know About ISS’ Equity Plan Scorecard in 75 Minutes,” presented by Melinda Hanzel of DF King, Ken Lockett of AST, Scott McCloskey of Lincoln Financial and Laura Wanlass of Aon Hewitt.
Next up, Emily Cervino of Fidelity and I presented “Living on Easy Street: Innovative Ideas to Make Your Life Easier.”
After the presentations, everyone enjoyed a great lunch, courtesy of AST, Fidelity, and Urban Outfitters and then we adjourned to the afternoon Phillies game. The Phillies won, making a great ending to a great day!
Here are more pics from the Philadelphia & DC/VA/MD half-day meeting.
While I was on the east coast, I also attended meetings of Boston and NY/NJ chapters. Check out pics from the Boston meeting and the NY/NJ meeting.
After the NY/NJ meeting, Maria Robins of Morgan Stanley and I had lunch at Grand Central Station. Recognize the clock in the background?
Lastly, Maria showed me a neat trick with my camera. Here is a video I took of Grand Central Station with it, that will only take two seconds of your day. Well maybe four seconds. You would think a two-sec video would have trouble buffering, but you’d be wrong. You might have to play it a second time for it to work right.
Have a great 4th of July holiday!
