Elena Thomas, COO of Plan Management Corp. (PMC), has been appointed President of the Philadelphia Chapter of the National Association of Stock Plan Professionals (NASPP). Ms. Thomas has served on the Board of Directors of the Philadelphia Chapter, which serves the city and surrounding suburbs, and areas of New Jersey and Delaware, for two years. She will serve a two-year term as the Chapter President as well.
Upon her appointment, Ms. Thomas said, "I appreciate the confidence my area colleagues have placed in me and I will devote my energy during my term to continuing the growth and high engagement-level of our chapter. I look forward to working closely with the Board and my predecessor officers and I am excited about the meetings and events we are planning for our members to share and expand our collective knowledge and experience."
Additionally, PMC has once again been selected to present a panel at the NASPP National Conference, this year being held in Houston, Texas. The conference runs from October 24 to the 27th at the Hilton Americas Houston. Ms. Thomas, and Lisa Klevence, CEP, also from PMC, will lead two panel discussions on "7 Deadly Sins: Avoid These Plan Administration Mistakes at All Costs!" on Wednesday, Oct. 26th. They will be joined on the panel by Christine Kim, Director of Equity Programs at AbbVie, Inc.
Both Ms. Thomas and Ms. Klevence have been presenters at previous NASPP national conferences. Ms. Klevence said that, "In my over 20 years of working in this industry, I have seen so many well-intentioned corporate officers, controllers, administrators and legal counsel set up stock plans that force administrators to make unforeseen mistakes in administration. We felt that this is a topic that needs addressing critically."
Plan Management Corp. invites all attendees at the conference in Houston to visit us at Booth #22 where we will be happy to discuss any of the issues administrators face in today's turbulent plan environment.
