No Career Club Lunch - But CC Recognition Still Offered

Click For Summary
There will not be an official Career Club lunch this year, but there will still be recognition for Career Club achievers. Instead of a separate lunch, a special recognition area will be set up for career achievers where individuals can take photos next to their names. All lunches during the conference will feature hot buffet-style food instead of boxed lunches, which many participants have expressed relief over. There is concern about the lack of special gifts that were traditionally given to Career Club members, with hopes that some form of recognition will still occur. Many attendees are feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension regarding the changes, emphasizing the importance of community and support among participants. The conference is seen as an opportunity for inspiration and motivation, particularly for first-time attendees and those striving to achieve their goals. Overall, the anticipation for a fun and engaging conference remains high despite changes to traditional formats.

I did confirm with my D today that there is no official career club lunch. She said that there still would be recognition for CC but not a separate lunch. She said she had just gotten an e-mail from HO titled "Answers to questions your consultants might have about conference". I laughed and asked her how long it was... she said it wasn't too bad!!!!

I think this will be my first year for CC in recruiting as well as sales! YAY!!!

Thanks for the info, Colleen! Congrats on getting recruiting as well. This is my first year for that as well. I was kinda looking forward to the CC lunch because of it. Oh well!
 
I was talking to my SED this morning and she told me that there would be a special recognition type room/hall for career achievers. I'm envisioning something like what they have at HO. She said we'd be able to take our picture next to our name.

She also told me that all the lunches this year would be hot food - buffett style - there will not be boxed lunches. I hope she's right, the boxed lunches usually suck.

OMG Linda! The first year I went to conference in 98, we had a box lunch one day and they gave out this cute lunch tote that matched our conference tote (well, cute at the time!!!!). I didn't go to that lunch because I met a friend who lives in Chicago for lunch. At that time, the workshops/meals were at the Sheraton and the general sessions were at Navy Pier. Anyway, I went to the GS after lunch and it was only 1/4 full... almost everyone who had the box lunch got sick from it! I always think about that and get nervous about the box lunches!!!!!
 
Congrats to you all! That's awesome.

What is Career Club? I've heard it mentioned, but am unfamiliar with the details.

It was a nicer lunch with the HO upper leaders (and used to be Doris came too) for everyone who had $50K or more in lifetime sales or 25 qualified recruits. The table gift was always just a step up from the gift everyone else got in the general lunch. It was a nice recognition.
 
bummer~ I'm sure it'll still be nice though! Can't wait!! Next year I'll be at the $200k table!! I'm $29k away!
 
Thanks Beth! I appreciate your patience with all my questions....I feel like the lil sister shadowing the teenage sister, bombarding with one question after another. :D

Knowing the criteria now.....I HAVE to restate my kudos to you for all for reaching it!

I'd do an awesome graphic and play with the fonts, but I don't yet have that ability! lol

So, please accept my high five and loud cheers....

WOW!!! WAAHOOOOO......That's super amazing ladies!

I KNOW! I hope that's wrong! I just made $200K for last years so I would still be at that table. So sad. But I'm sure there'll be a gift (everyone got one in the past) but probably not anything more than anyone else gets. Sure hope we still get the PINS though!
 
Shoot--i am at 400K!
 
Maybe cc gifts will be in the registration packets????
 
I know, I always LOVED the little gifts. The pens that one year were awesome! I still covet mine and don't use them much.

And I'm glad to hear no boxed lunches!! Yay!
 
Well, I think we'll just have loads of surprises and we'll just have all kinds of fun! I'm thinking that if they are going to recognize us... we'll get something.... and no matter what... it's just going to be a blast!

I just gave those on my team that went to Spring Launch those pens. They LOVED them!

While I am disappointed that they seem to be taking several of our little recognitions that have meant a lot to us away, Diane is right that we are still getting lots of goodies and it'll be so much fun! :chef:

My D ensured that this would be the case... HO knows we are all uncomfortable with all of the changes so they are going to be sure it's awesome for us! :D
 
Did your upline mention if these changes are just for this year while we are all there at once or permanant changes? Just curious

She didn't say... it didn't occur to me to ask and that's a great question!

Me too and at 50 career recruits! Only took me 10 years!:D:party:
 
I just realized that my recruit just FINALLY hit $50K and she was SOOOO excited about getting to finally go to the lunch. I hope they do SOMETHING, especially for those that would have been first timers.

OK, I admit it, I feel negative about it. BUT, I'm anxious to see what new approaches they take! Guess it's a typical reflection of the back and forth, up and down feelings I have had this last year with my business. I think something in me just hasn't "clicked" yet. Maybe Conference will be EXACTLY what I need for the "click"!!!! I don't doubt it will be fabulous!!!!

Not trying to be Negative Nelly, but I'm being real about how I feel. And real about the fact that I'm still excited and encouraged!!!
 
"real" is good and just fine! I think I'm just so excited that we are ALL going to be there together that I'm not thinking about all this much.. just anticipating the FUN and being together and knowing that PC always manages to pull off great surprises!!!!! So I'm gonna have a drool fest over the whole darn conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
