Please help me figure this out. I'm distracted this morning because one of my consultants just had her husband placed in hospice last night and he's not expected to make it through the weekend. I'm so unbelievably sad for her. And I'm trying to coordinate consultant's to take over the shows she had scheduled for this weekend. :(

Anyway, I have another consultant who submitted in October. Does he have to submit before the end of March or April to stay active? Thanks for your help... I can't focus right now.
 
I believe he has to submit by the end of April. 6 whole months of inactivity kicks you out.

I'm so sorry for your consultant. It's nice that the rest of you are rallying to help her out.

Thank you!!!! :)And thanks for your nice words. :candyheart:
 
Look at your Cons Connection. Their name appears with their first 'inactive since' month. That would count as month 1. then count up.

So sorry for the family -- will say a prayer for peace for them.
 
Whispering prayers for you and your consultant and family
 
{{{{HUGS}}} and prayers for all. You are a very nice person...but I already knew that...just had to say it out loud!
 
Awe, that's so sad for the consultant on your team. :(Assuming what the other consultant submitted in Oct was $150 or more ... Nov was month 1 inactive, April will be month 6.
