Fall, 2002

By Bruce Dries

From her office windows, Vicki Iseman ’90 has a great view of Washington, D.C. The Indiana native is one of the youngest people in the lobbying firm of Alcalde and Fay and one of its most senior partners.

Two weeks after graduating from IUP with a degree in elementary education, Iseman joined a friend in Washington and was hired as a receptionist. With only a few months’ experience on the job, she said she “walked into my boss’s office and said, ‘You don’t really know me, but I answer the phones. I’m a college graduate and I’d like you to consider me for a secretarial or an administrative position.’” He agreed to try her out for three months. Within a year she became his special assistant.

Alcalde and Fay represents clients from cruise lines and universities to airports and broadcasters. With no background in politics or telecommunications, Iseman realized she needed to know as much as possible to survive her new job. She spent most of her waking hours learning the business, and it paid off handsomely. Eight years later she became the youngest partner ever in the firm, counting among her clients PAXtv, Religious Voices in Broadcasting, Telemundo, the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation, and Computer Sciences Corporation. In addition, she has met Melanie Griffith, Britney Spears, Bo Derek, and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

Iseman said that the most important aspect of her job is the effect that one person can have on legislation in small communities and educational institutions. “Where my heart lies is in education,” she said. “I believe it is the great equalizer.”

5. Hmm. What ever happened to the deal where the WH was supposed

[Tatiana]

6. Great find.

This just may be the gift that keeps on giving. And maybe we can kill two birds with one stone: destroy McCain's presidential aspirations and force him out of the Senate.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. There's a thought!

[shain from kane]

7. Damn, she started out as a huntin' pecker.

[napi21]

[azmouse]

12. I think she looks a bit like Loni Anderson.

[shain from kane]

11. Recent headline, from Drudge: Police arrest man suspected of having sex with a dog.

Santorum prdicted it, but did he mean his fellow Senator?

[grantcart]

25. I wonder if there was any santorum left at the scene that they can use for evidence?

[mindfulNJ]

13. She looks disturbingly

like Cindy McCain. Guess ol' John doesn't have much of an imagination.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. OMG you are so right about Cindy. Yikes and I thought Laura was

Stepfordesque - Call me ignorant, but I never knew that McCain dumped his wife for Cindy and that Cindy's family was extra wealthy.

She totally creeps me out - with that picture perfect makeup, clothes, and stupid ass grin on her face.

[Ernesto]

18. Is it just me?

Or does Cindy McCain appear to be a martian?

[ronnykmarshall]

20. Oh my!

:scared:

She's fucking scary looking.

:scared:
