Who's banquet will you be at?

[chefann]

The other 2 Waves have threads for this, so now it's our turn!

As of now, I'll be at my NED's banquet - Randy Weiss.

But my SD is working on repromoting to Exec, so she may have her own again - Sue Burkhardt.

Anyone else?

[janetupnorth]

If I went to my proper wave, my Exec. Dir. would be Yvonne Mattson.

(Don't know who is above her...)

[pkd09]

Darla Ohlmann:)

I'm under Randy as well, I have no clue how you get to her (or any other for that matter) banquet. Someone enlighten me please? I want to go!

[chefann]

The banquet is one of the included meals for conference. In the past, it's been Day 2, but HO is mixing things up this year. :)

As a NED, Randy's banquet is pretty big. I missed it last year (was in bed with food poisoning for half of Day 2), but in 2005 there were probably a couple hundred people there. That was a big change for me. When my SD was an Exec, she would have 30 people at her banquet.

[rebeccastt]

Mine is Sandy Alexanian....but she usually does hers with Cindy Langford!

[SusanBP0129]

Is this only for FD's and D's?

[rebeccastt]

Nope! Everyone is invited to the dinner. :)

[PamperedMelanie]

Nope! Everyone is invited to the dinner. :)


Oh cool! That is really great to include everyone, I know when I was with MK, I went to a career conference (not the huge event, smaller) and it was kind of like if you weren't a director, you were a peon. I love this company more and more every day!

[SusanBP0129]

My NED is Patsy McGovern.... Is that how you know who's banguet you are at?

[cmdtrgd]

Mine is Sandy Alexanian....but she usually does hers with Cindy Langford!

I LOVE Cindy Langford! I was so honored when my Exec, Susan Kaufmann (NED) told me that something I did was "so Cindy Langford of me!". Anyhoo, I'm in Susan's until I become an Exec because she is directly above me. :D

[cmdtrgd]

My NED is Patsy McGovern.... Is that how you know who's banguet you are at?

It is by the closest Exec. So, if your Director's Director is an Exec or above, you go to that one. If there are no Execs between you and Patsy, you go to hers.

[BethCooks4U]

Mine is Terri Newberry.

[ChefLisa]

I will be going to Diane Clayton's Executive Dinner.

Lisa

[sarahmarie]

Mine is Randy too!

[pamperedlinda]

I'm going to Dotti Sheperd's dinner.

[pixel-_]

I will be in Donna McDonalds dinner!

[mommyhugz1978]

Mine was Terri Newberry... but my upline director just promoted so it's Sandy Kristoff .... she is trying to get a 100 people to her first excecutive banquet....

[KimmyDarling]

I didn't know we had something like this at conference. How neat!

Patsy McGovern's what my cluster calls my "great-grandmother" (my Director is in her first line), so I'm pretty sure I'll be at hers.

[kimmers]

I'm not quite sure. Patsy McGovern is who I fall under for conference, but if the banquet is decided by someone other than that then I'm confused. Which isn't all that unusual. :-) Last year I attended Patsy's.

[SusanBP0129]

Patsy is my NED too! :D

[BethCooks4U]

You go to the banquet of your EXECUTIVE Director (unless you don't have an executive between you and a higher level director then you go to that person's).

On your commission statement it shows your first line director; second line director; third line director and "assigned to" (recruiter or whoever was her director if she has since gone inactive).

In my case my second line director is Executive Director Terri Newberry and my third line director is National Director Becky Ishee. Since Terri is an Executive Director I will be going to her dinner. If she was, say, a Senior Director then I would be going to Becky's because I wouldn't have an Executive Director between Becky and me.

If none of the directors mentioned on your commission statement is at least an Executive Director then you might have to ask your upline who your person is.

[kimmers]

Beth,

I hate to sound dumb, but is there a way to find out what the directors mentioned on our commission statement are? TIA

[BethCooks4U]

Beth,

Not dumb at all!!!

You can look at the list of banquets to see if their names are on it. Otherwise you probably have to ask your upline. I wish they put their level on the statements!!

The thread with the list shows up on the first page if you click on new posts so you can see if your names are there.

Another way to know is to look at the CN - if they are a top seller or recruiter their name and director level will be there. But again the easiest way is to ask!

Sorry I wasn't more help.

[kimmers]

Thanks Beth. You are always a big help. I don't always post on here, but I do gain a lot from yours and everyone elses posts. Hopefully I'll be able to meet some of you all this year.

Thanks again.

[tlmcunning]

Becky Ishee is mine.

[etteluap70PC]

Yvonne Mattson for me...

last time I went to conf. Not 1 person in my cluster went. I did not feel like going to a huge dinner not knowing a single person. I was instead invited to go with my hospitality group to Julie Jorgenson's banquet. She is awesome!!!

[momoftwins]

Deena Hiltbrand is now mine (since Wendy Brown passed away).

[ChefBeckyD]

Yvonne Mattson for me...

[etteluap70PC]

Thanks Becky! I will definetly look for you!
I think we have 5 or 6 of us going this year.

[Chef Kearns]

Shan Eisler for me!! I know I'll see Becky Gosain there. I saw her last year at the dinner. She met my husband and new baby.

Thats interesting... you are in TX but Shan is here in MN! I have attended events that she has been at.

It just depends on how the line of sponsorship moved around. My NED is in Missouri, and most of my AD's group is here in Michigan, but one of her Directors just moved to Virginia. So as people move or recruit long-distance, it can really spread out the group.

And NED's have so many people under them, that it just stands to reason that they'd be all over.

Yep! My SD has clusters in TX, and AZ........it's fun to meet up with them at Conference (we usually all meet for pizza the first night.)

[etteluap70PC]

Oh I understand how it all works. I just think it is so interesting to see how we get arround. :)

[PCGINA]

Sandy Kristof is my Exec - I can't wait to see her in her Turnip costume:D

(Don't ask) LMAO - ROFL - ~!!!!!:eek:

[PCGINA]

Mine is Terri Newberry.

Beth,

I was at Terri's last year - were you there??? Small world...:)

[mommyhugz1978]

It is a small world..... everything was such a rush last year.... I really hope I cn go without such a star struck look on my face... LOL I am soooo excited!!

[chef_kimmo]

I am with Shan Eisler as well. Looking forward a good time this year!

We used to have an Executive Director between us and Shan and went to hers but now we are first line Shan. The Exec. Dir. lives here in TX and I think had moved here from up north.

[BethCooks4U]

Beth,

I was at Terri's last year - were you there??? Small world...:)
Yep, I was there! Sorry I missed you. I know Sandy too and she is AWESOME!! I am SOOOOO happy for her! She so deserved the promotion!!

Hopefully we'll meet in Chicago?!

[mommyhugz1978]

I will be in Chicago... and believe me I am really excited about it..... We should get together and find out what workshops everyone is taking.

[Pampered Laura]

Donna McDonald for me! :D

[Morvin]

I have No idea who my NED is. I live in Indiana and my director lives in oklahoma. And I don't have a hospitality director. So I don't have a lot of interaction with any group and I don't really know who anyone is. So hopefully I will figure out who my NED is. And this year meet some of my people!! I am very excited!!!

heather

[jdavis]

So who is your director, maybe someone on here knows them and their line and could fill you in. My director's director and a few above her are all in oklahoma.

[ChefNic]

OH HEY!! A fellow Donna McDonald girl!
I am hospitality in SC..but Donna is my director!
I'm thinking I'll probably go with my hospitality cluster, because I know them...I only know Donna...so I want to go with people I feel comfortable traveling with, eating and sleeping with!!!
But I've found someone in my 'cluster'!!
Is she your director? or is someone under her your director?

[ChefNic]

Donna McDonald for me! :D

Are you hospitality? You are in TX... is your director in TX...
So neat to see faces of people in my group! I've always felt like an adopted child as hospitality!

[Pampered Laura]

I'm a 2nd line Director in Donna's cluster. :)

My line:
Me>Cindy Sparling>Donna McDonald>Chris Manion

[janetupnorth]

Yvonne Mattson for me...

last time I went to conf. Not 1 person in my cluster went. I did not feel like going to a huge dinner not knowing a single person. I was instead invited to go with my hospitality group to Julie Jorgenson's banquet. She is awesome!!!


Just saw this...Yvonne will be there with a group from our cluster...

It is me, my recruiter, then Yvonne...My recruiter and myself will be in Wave 2 though - we have a waiver, but have fun with Yvonne...

[janetupnorth]

Yvonne Mattson is my ED too....Paulette - you can always sit with my cluster! ;-)


Becky - just saw you are under Yvonne too...too bad I had to switch waves and miss you!!!!

[ivykeep]

Patsy McGovern is my Second line director, my third line director is Beth Jacobs (and I'm assigned to my 1st line director who is not a national exec direction).

So I'd be at Patsy's banquet?

Pam Stickowsky's group and sorry Pam, I ALWAYS spell your last name wrong! You know, she signed directly under Doris!

[chefpattie]

Mine is Sandy Alexanian

[PCGINA]

Mine is Terri Newberry.

OMG Beth:eek: !! We are split this year!! Sandi Kristof promoted to ED @<hidden email> Leadership and we are very excited to be attending her FIRST banquet. I have had the privilege of helping her plan it....

I will miss being with Terri :( - but at the same time - excited for Sandy..

[SusanBP0129]

Pam Stickowsky's group and sorry Pam, I ALWAYS spell your last name wrong! You know, she signed directly under Doris!

That is pretty cool! When did she start?

[JAE]

"The thread with the list shows up on the first page if you click on new posts so you can see if your names are there."
What does this mean?
I'm trying to figure out whose banquet I'll be attending. My Upline Executive Director is Yvonne Mattson, but I'm not understanding all the "if's", "and's" and "but's". I'm so confused...

[chefann]

Jae,

If your upline Executive is Yvonne Mattson, then that is the benquet you will attend.

The easy way to figure it out is start with yourself. Ask, "Am I an ED or above?" If the answer is no, then look at the person immediately above you. Is that person an ED or above? Keep doing that until you get to someone who is. That's the banquet you'll attend.

[JAE]

Thanks Ann.
I think I'll go with that, but hopefully my director will be able to confirm this even though she isn't going to NF.

[pampered1224]

25 or 26 years ago I believe. Not sure how it actually occured except I think Pam attended a party in Northern Illinois and the rest is history.
Doris actually used to come up to Milwaukee once a month for training meetings. That lasted a few years at the very beginning of her being the first Director. I thought that was pretty cool too when I heard that.

[janetupnorth]

Thanks Ann.
I think I'll go with that, but hopefully my director will be able to confirm this even though she isn't going to NF.

JAE - You will be in Yvonne's Banquet. Yvonne is Home Office Direct so there is no one above her.

Enjoy the banquet - I hear it is a fun time...

I had to switch to Wave 2 so I won't be there... :(

Next year hopefully I'll get to meet more of my cluster.

I've met Yvonne and some others who are in her first line but not too many yet.

[ChefBeckyD]

And JAE - you probably know this by now (;) ) but you can sit with me at the banquet!!! I'll be there too! I'm looking forward to actually meeting you! - Maybe even before conference!

[mommyhugz1978]

Knowing you roomie...... it is going to be a fun banquet this year!! I too will miss being with Terri :(


OMG Beth:eek: !! We are split this year!! Sandi Kristof promoted to ED @<hidden email> Leadership and we are very excited to be attending her FIRST banquet. I have had the privilege of helping her plan it....

[dianevill]

Pam Stickowsky's group and sorry Pam, I ALWAYS spell your last name wrong! You know, she signed directly under Doris!

I'm in Pam's (Sztukowski) banquet, too, John. I just received an e-mail from her inviting me to sit at her table. I got to sit with her for the last two years, and it's always a blast talking to her. She's so down-to-earth and is truly interested in hearing our stories.

Can't wait!

[chefkristin]

Chris Manion for me.
