Come join the shareholders' meeting! What would you ask the panel? Leave a comment and let me know.
Last week was the 9th annual Shareholder's Meeting of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. This event was held at the Equitable Center in midtown Manhattan. I can hardly believe that it’s been 9 years since MSLO went public!
Shareholders come from all over the country and they seem to enjoy the beverages, tea sandwiches, and cookies we provide while they talk and mill about before the meeting is called to order.
Each year our events' coordinators try to make the display both beautiful and informative.
I am always so pleased to see smiling faces even though the
shareholders reminded me that this was the third year in a row that it
rained.
some of the goodies we serve to the guests
Elizabeth Estroff, Heather Kirkland, Carley Blake, and Lauren Picker -
all employees of MSLO - they were responsible for much of the
organization of the meeting, the presentations and the success of the
day.
The auditorium is very beautiful, has good acoustics and is a welcoming
place - the brightly illustrated
screen is used for visual
presentations - I showed some Macy's commercials, some television
segments, and some slides.
Charlotte Beers has rejoined our board of directors - she left when she
took a job under Secretary of State
Colin Powell - now that she is no
longer working for the government she is back with us.
Dallas Sowers, Robin Marino's executive assistant and our new head of human resources, Nancy Ashbrooke

Our CFO, Howard Hochhauser and our Chairman, Charles Koppelman
Here I am dressed in a pretty brown pants suit with a thin, but warm scarf.

This is the auditorium, filling up - not too many people come to such
an event, but those who do attend
have lots to say and good comments to
make.
All eyes are on the guests who ask questions of the officers and me.
Everyone looks very intent - taking notes and listening to the presentations.
This year we had quite a few questions asked of the panel on the stage.
