I'm curious too. I hit my 15k mark in June. My director didn't even realize it (we roomed together at NC). I didn't say anything for awhile, to see if she did. I finally told her the last night. My Senior Director was also rooming with us, and she knew, but never said anything. I was sort of disappointed. I know I'm not the brightest star in the room or on the team, but it was a big milestone for me. My director got excited when I told her (because she knows my "issues" and challenges), but still. :( Now I wonder when I'll get my necklace because I think it comes from her? I never got my pin for qualifying. I'll just order one of those for myself when I make director. ;) I don't want to ask now...it's been 3 years.

But it is exciting, no matter what!! :) And if they don't give me my necklace in a reasonable time...I'm going to ask!

Be excited! You deserve it. The pin for qualifying is optional and not all directors purchase it. The 15k necklace is sent to the director from HO at no charge to the director. I mail them to long distance consultants and give them to local consultants at our meeting. I find a way to get together with those who are local but not able to attend the meeting. The also get other goodies from me along with both the pin and the necklace.
 
Congrats Esavvy mom.. It is a big deal and you should be proud of yourself
