Conference Waves: The Truth About Wave Assignments and Rotations

[lisacb77]

Okay, those of you that have been at this for a while...this is what my director told me. How true is it?

"No we don’t know for a while which wave we will be assigned to. I think that we will probably be the second wave as this year we were first wave and they typically rotate over a three year cycle. Basically the company assigns the various National Executive Directors (pictured in the catalog) to one of three waves and their down line follows suit."

 

[BethCooks4U]

Not sure how they decide. I have been going to National Conference for 3 years now - Wave 2, Wave 3, Wave 3. I will be VERY VERY disappointed if we don't get Wave 1 this year!

 

[erinyourpclady]

We have been Wave 1 for the last 2 years. I have to tell you that I am hoping for Wave 3 since it will fit in my summer better!!! In July of next year my husband will be just coming home from an extended trip and we will be moving!! So Wave 3 for me please!! LOL!!

 

[lacychef]

It seems like we usually find out what wave we're in sometime after Leadership in January. It will be on CC & in a KCN. It will list the waves, and you are assigned by your executive director. I guess I"m just lucky; my cluster has been in wave 1 the past two years!

 

[raebates]

Huh. I was under the impression that we were assigned on a rotating basis--wave 1, then wave 2, then wave 3, then back to wave 1, etc. Now I'm really curious how they do things.

 

[dianevill]

My director told me we're in Wave I (Sztukowski downline) next year, which is July 9-11. So I would think the info should be available to everyone...

I haven't heard anything yet.

 

[lisacb77]

How do we find out what executive director we roll up to? I know who our Advanced Director is...

Just ask your director

 

[etteluap70PC]

I have noticed that sometimes the exec directors get shifted arround. I am assuming because of promotions and to try to keep the waves "even" as in # of consultants.
Sometimes I am in the same wave as my hospitality group sometimes not.
I also am anxious to know... I was not able to go the past 2 years and mid july thru mid august are very busy here (birthdays and fairs). I am allready trying to plan it out!

 

[lkspeir]

I'm in wave 2 (July 12-15th). I found out from my director this week.

 

[lisacb77]

ARRGH! That means I'll find out in like a month...my director is not timely with the info. She totally forgot her August newsletter!

 

[AJPratt]

Anyone in Robin Shilling's wave?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I was in Wave 3 this year.....but I haven't heard what Wave we will be in next year!!!

[nikked]

me, me, me!

Anyone in Robin Shilling's wave?

Hi, Anne! I'm in Robin's line. I'm a Fifth Generation Director under her (I think that's right...there are 4 directors, then Robin).

I don't think I'll be going this year though...Baby #4 is due in March, and I don't relish the thought of traveling with baby...am planning on Leadership '08 though.

 

[Kathytnt]

Looks like I am in Wave 3 - I was so bummed I missed it this year. My work wouldn't let me off and my mom passed away in June so things were crazy. Job a new job that is part time so I am hopeful I will be able to go this year. Already on conference club and have som PC dollars collected.

YEA! I hope you can go! I hope I can go for that matter! We have been trying to conceive and I just don't know how things will time out.

 

[Morvin]

I am in wave one this year!!! I'm very excited I hope I get to go!! I am donating my kidney to my brother and we don't have a set date for the surgery so I hope it will be after conference!! Not that I will make him wait or anything!! PC is important but him getting a new kidney kinda trumpets it!!! however our surgery will be just down the road from conference so maybe if it is at the same time someone could sneak a catalog down for me!!! I missed last year because I had to go to the hospital for more testing it was very hard being so close and not being able to be there!!

[supergirljennie]

Wow! That makes my possibly missing conference because I may be pregnant look silly! You are amazing for doing that!

 

[Morvin]

Thank you but anyone would do what they could!! I just hope that if I have to miss then i could talk someone into sneaking me a catalog or something from conference I will truley only be about 5 blocks North of the conference hotels at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. i had to miss last years conference because i had to go to the hospital to have all kinds of tests done to see if I was a match and it was the sadest thing in the world for me to have to drive right by and see everyone walking around with their name tags and their bags and everyone getting on the buses and I knew just where everyone was going and what I was missing!! I was so close yet so far away!!!

[soccermama]

Heather! So awesome of you to be donating your kidney! You'll both be in my thoughts, as I know what a stressful time it can be. My best friend was all set to donate her kidney to my mom over the summer. They were getting ready to buy her plane ticket to come up for it and they did one final round of testing that didn't turn out well It hit the family hard... Mom did get a kidney, in a bittersweet turn of events... we're happy she got the kidney, but sad for the family who lost a loved one....

Anyway... at some point I will be most likely donating a kidney to one of my sisters. 4 of my sisters have the same kidney disease that Mom does (PKD... Polycystic Kidney Disease www.pkdcure.org )..... they will all eventually be on dialysis, awaiting a kidney transplant.....

Celeste
PKD is they same disease that my brother has. I am happy your mother was able to get a kidney, it is sad to know that a family has lost a loved one ...however I'm sure they can take comfort in knowing that they were able to save a life!!! how is she doing now??? How are your sisters feeling? how old are they? It is actually my step brother to me there is no difference however we aren't actually blood related!! He is not on dialysis yet and they are not going to let him get to that they want to do the transplant right when he get to the level of dialysis. He is feeling just okay now he is very tired all the time. He feels like it will be in the next 6 to 8 months that is just his own feelings nothing of what the Dr. has said.
Thank you, my prayers are with you whole family!!!

Heather

 

[soccermama]

Does anyone else in the family have PKD? You said it's step-brother, so anyone else in that family?

Mom is doing well now. She just had her transplant about a month ago, so is still in the healing process. My sisters have good days and bad days. My oldest sister is the co-coordinator for the Seattle chapter of the PKD foundation and her daughter (9 yrs old) has just been diagnosed with PKD, and is trying to get into a drug study. All but 1 sister participated in the Walk for PKD last month to raise money! And in the spring I am hoping they do another Educational Seminar (last year I did all the food for the event! It was lots of fun )

Hope your brother is well for a long time!

 

[soccermama]

oh... you asked my sister's ages...... I'll just list us all

V= 36 (pkd... daughter also has pkd)
C=34 (pkd)
F=32 (pkd... as well as a blood disorder)
ME=30
J=28 (pkd)
R=24

Of course, officially R & I have not been "cleared" as far as not having PKD, because it can show up as late as 30 years old. I eat as if I have PKD, mostly with lower sodium cooking, because I can't take salty foods (probably because I was raised on not-too-salty foods!) And as long as I'm not having any health problems, I don't need to find out for sure (I don't have insurance, so a pre-existing condition would suck!!!!!)

 

[cmdtrgd]

Celeste - you might want to look into the PC insurance. It's not too bad, and if you end up getting PKD (my prayers are you don't!), then you would be covered.

 

[lynnguilm]

I am in Wave 1 next year. I am in Patsy McGoverns downline. My director told me last week, I was in Wave 2 this year.
