It has been a few months since this has happened, and I'm still not quite sure what to do! I have heard bits and pieces of something called a "hospitality director" but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to find this person? Call the HO?

I am in the Newport News/ Hampton Roads area of Virginia
 
Where is your upline director? You would attend her meetings if she's local to you (her name is on your commission checks). If not she should contact HO about getting you hospitality.

If you haven't heard from her you can contact HO and ask them about local meetings and I believe they would contact your new director to help you.

my upline is out of state... across the country actually (ugh)
 
Just went through this last year... when your D loses Dship, she also loses her downline. So you and the rest of her first line roll up to her D and you become part of that first line. Make sense?
 
If you have an email for her go ahead and send her a note saying you want to attend meetings and ask for her help to get a hospitality director.

Are you friends with any of the other consultants that were in your former D's firstline? I'd check with them to see what they are going to do.
 
I actually started having meetings when my director moved out of state. I was a FD with 2 consultants at the time. Some of the other consultants in my directors team also attended. I can tell you that was one of the things that motivated me to promote - if I was going to do the work I wanted the pay and the support for doing it (HO gives directors outlines and other help to plan their meetings - my director did not pass that on to me so I was totally on my own before promoting).

You might want to get together with others from your group and see about putting something together but I do encourage you to get into hospitality so that you have the support you need especially if everyone is somewhat new with the company.

I have emailed my upline across the country, so we'll see if she can help. In the meanwhile, thanks to everyone on here, you guys have been my support over the past few months for staying motivated in this strange no-director-transitional-phase!

:thumbup: :thumbup: Thanks bunches!:thumbup: :thumbup:
 
My director is in RI, and my upline is in TX. My upline contacted HO for me and asked for a hospitality cluster for each of us (we are both military spouses). There were two clusters here in this area and I ended up picking which I wanted from what I had heard from other local consultants. I love my adopted cluster. :-) Of course though my upline's cluster director has adopted me as well so I'm double blessed. I get to celebrate conference with BOTH clusters! I'm SUPER excited!

Stephanie Bernier called me back (she's my upline now!) and is working on finding me a hospitality group in Newport News or Hampton area. I hope I love them as much as you like yours Becky!!!!!!!
