That's great Sarah~another lead!
I'm right there with you....wanting directorship so badly, have lots of leads but just not the right time for them. Hopefully the time will be right *soon* for all of us if we just keep at it...:chef:
 
Sounds like you are doing good Sarah! I missed you at the meeting last week! I have lots of fence sitters still too. We just need to keep getting ourselves out there in front of everyone and keep up the enthusiasm. I make sure I am either calling or sending a promotion out to my "fence sitters" once a month or so... just to remind them that I am still here with open arms! LOL
 
I recruited one two weeks ago who has already held 2 shows, has to open catalog shows and a show on the 27th. Yeah $50 gift card! I had a call from my advertising for a booking. Talked to her today about her show and invited her to my cluster on Monday. She's thinking about joining. She's bilingual. In our area there are no bilingual consultants. I'm excited. She would reinstate my FD status since my others went inactive.
