Thanks for the suggestions on what to wear. Last year was my 1st time to conference, I did make a "note to self" don't wear something that you will be uncomfortable to stay in all day. Some ladies seemed a little over dress & not comfortable later in the day. Chicago is also very hot & muggy so got to think about traveling to & from.

A summer dress sounds good..... I need to go shopping.

TraciEEEEEE, we shall stroll together!!
 
question... do your recruits have to be qualified in order to walk at NC?

I wasn't told what to wear when I walked last year. BUT - I think they should give some guidelines - to keep things from happening like the one who dressed in a Skull & Crossbones t-shirt, capri's, and flip-flops, and then stood center front for the picture. :(

I wore a nice Summer dress, and wedge heeled slingback sandals, and felt dressed just right for the occasion.

To walk as Director? No. If Consultant's Corner says you are a Director, it's your first time promoting to Director & you did it since last year's NC, you should be walking. :D

yay!!!!! :d
 
I will be walking (Amber Welvaert) as Director for sure and possibly be promoting to AD by that point but not sure if everything will fall in line for that yet. This is my first conference as I signed up 2 weeks before conference last year and did not have the money to get the plane ticket and conference paid for. Can't wait to see you all on stage with me I will not feel alone.
 
WooHoo!!!! Walking as a Director!!!! Can't wait! :):chef: :D
 
Walking as a director!! Jaye Shotts:D:D:sing::sing:
 
I'll be walking as a Director also :) I'm wearing a red dress as red has always seemed to be the Director "color" ;)
I also hit $100,000 in career sales and will probably hit 25 career recruits right after conference - at 22 now and have some waiting in the wings...
Next year, my goal will be Excellence Awards! Had a baby a few months ago, so that kind of blew my plans for this past year, but that's okay :)
I love conference and this will be fourth year going - SO excited to cross the stage as a director!!!

Well this just answered 1 of my questions to you :D
 
I heard it actually used to be mandatory to wear a dress when being on stage for anything at conference, but I believe that was quite a while ago.
 
I'll be walking as a Director this year :)
 
I promoted as of March 1 and have not been able to maintain it, so I assume that I will not be walking. I registered for all of my workshops as a Team Lader just in case :( My team fell apart on me! Oh well. Maybe next year :)

I might not be walking either I'm realy upset about it! I promoted April 1st, my team has been trying hard but I lost two team members and I have some who are still trying to recover from the tornados. I'm still not giving up though! It's not midnight yet!

It's Official! I will be walking as a NEW DIRECTOR at Conference. I am so freaking excited! Now let's just hope that I can make across the stage without falling. (At 7 months pregnant that would not be a good plan.)
 
So, for those of us "walking" my exec. director told me that is during Saturday's general session - so you may want to think about that in packing. I don't think I want to wear that lime green shirt on stage, but I'll probably put it on for the plane ride home.
I'm excited that I get reserved seating with her for the first general session - up close for the new products!
 
I am bummed. I di dnot make it. :( I worked really hard with my team this month. I had 5 submit and over $6000 in sales. I have 2 other consultants(one new and one inactive for quite sometime) that both told me thaey were submitting this month. I even offered to submit my new consultant's fisrt show for her to make sure it got in. Neither one submitted. I had 2 other long term inactives that submitted, so I was really hopeful. I got an email from Exec director saying not quite there this month. If anything, I got my inactives active again, so I am happy about tht. Maybe next month...

Hang in there Diane! Good that you saw the positive! Got two inactive active again! I threw myself a pitty party yesterday and I'm better today! My goal now is to walk as an AD next year's conference!!
 
Thanks Kitty! That is a great goal! One of my newer consultants is getting ready to recruit and he signed up tp make this his job, so I will not be surprised if he is a director by conference next year. I will make that my goal too. Directorship can't be all that far away! IT is just a matter of time!
 
CONGRATS TO ALL! This is so great to see so many of you are walking! (LOTS OF LOUD CLAPPING HERE!)
 
I think I'll be walking as a new DIRECTOR :) my promotion date says: July 1st.....
I'm so stinkin' excited! This has been a long time coming for me! I've been with PC for 6 years, but it's been my "real" job for the past year after my teaching position was cut.
Please look for me! Susan Osorio ~ black & white dress with bright flowers in hot pink, orange and red (it's vintage!)
Congrats to everyone!!!! Three more sleeps till Chicago!!!

I realized that the other day myself. Now I'm wishing I hadn't have wasted the money on the t-shirt. Definitely not going to wear it on Saturday to walk! :(
 
I am so excited to be walking as a Director at NC! July is also my 1-year anniversary with PC, which has made me reflect a lot about my life before PC. I have been so blessed, and can't wait to meet many of you in a couple days. YAY!I still have NO IDEA what I am going to wear. I bought 4 different "stage" outfits, but I am just not sure any of them are something I would want to wear all day during training...and I am not great at walking in heals, so that make me a little nervous as well, lol.

Put your heals in your purse, wear comfortable shoes until you have to slip into the heals, then change back into the comfies after you walk.
 
That's exactly what I plan to do! :)I'm so stinkin' excited!!!!
 
Congrats to everyone who's walking!!!!! :D :D So excited for you! I wish I made it but things didn't fall into place. It's ok though because now I'll have a reason to attend conference next year! :D LOL. But now I think I'll shoot for AD for next year! I'll have to promote to at least D to earn the cruise I feel so that will be my goal for next year and to help me earn that trip! :)


Looking forward to cheering for you guys this year!

Though is it just me? Or is Saturday a weird day to have you walk???
