The San Francisco NASPP chapter kicked off the holiday season with a “double meeting” and a cocktail party. Here are a few pictures (click the thumbnails to see larger, more in-focus pictures):
The meeting was held at One Market restaurant in San Francisco. One Market is consistently rated one of the top 100 restaurants in the bay area by the SF Chronicle and has traditionally been the venue for the chapter’s holiday party, making it an event that members look forward to every year.
The meeting featured two presentations of about 45 minutes each–I loved the fast-paced format. In this picture, chapter board members mingle with meeting attendees during the break between presentations. Congrats to chapter president Mark Clem of Equity Methods and the rest of the chapter board for hosting a fantastic event.
Daryl Walke of Applied Materials with Jon Burg of Radford. Jon presented with Jeremy Erickson of Orrick on the pay ratio disclosure rules. I learned that statistical sampling is harder than it looks and involves math that I hope I never have to understand.
Cheryl Claeys of RealNetworks, Max Sternberg of Williams-Sonoma, and Vanessa Iriarte of Clorox chat before the presentations begin.
Attendees enjoy cocktails after the presentation. During the party, everyone had a sticker with a celebrity’s name on their back. Attendees had to try to guess their celebrities by asking questions of their fellow attendees. I was Bob Dylan.
Nandita Nandy of Radford, David Howell of Plante Moran, Sean Evans of Radford, and Valerie Diamond of Baker & McKenzie have figured out their celebrities and now discuss the finer points of statistical sampling.
At the end of the evening, all attendees that figured out their celebrities were entered in a raffle for a gift certificate to One Market. Karen Moses of Xoom won the raffle.
