April 9th was a picture perfect day at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Not only is it the home field for an NFL football team, but it was the location for the Philadelphia chapter’s half day event as well.

I was fortunate to be one of the 75 people in attendance that day. The agenda included two great stock compensation educational sessions, lunch overlooking Lincoln Financial Field, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium. For today’s blog, I share some photos that captured the essence of the day. (Click on thumbnail to see larger image.) Kudos to the chapter board and meeting sponsors who came together to create something unforgettable.

Picture Perfect

The setting for the chapter meeting was Lincoln Financial Field, home to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Chapter board member Scott McCloskey of Lincoln National Corporation and Chapter President Terry Adamson of Aon Hewitt take in the view while preparing to kick off the day’s events.

Emily Cervino of the Certified Equity Professional Institute, Liz Stoudt of Aon Hewitt, and Mike Palermo of E*TRADE lead attendees through an informative session on the current landscape of offering an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Bill Dunn of PwC talks about election year tax volatility.

The newest addition to the Philadelphia chapter board, Andrea Kagan of QlikTech, takes time to network.

Session attendees listen intently.

Lunch, sponsored by E*TRADE, is held in the press box. Attendees network while enjoying the amazing view.

Did I mention that there was an incredible view from the press box?

After lunch, attendees were treated to a behind the scenes tour of the stadium, which included a tour of the locker room. I’ve never seen so many cell phone cameras fly out at once!

This is where many players meet the press after their games.

It was a day filled with education, great networking, and fun for all who participated.
