The waves refer to our National Conference that is held in Chicago in July - they have 3 different times everyone can go based on your executive director in your upline. Your director should know what wave you are in already. National Conference is a very fun time and great for your business!

They're those big walls of water that crash up on the beach of Lake Michigan that you'll see when you go to conference.ChefJoyJ said:
Okay, what Gina didn't tell you is that there are far more consultants than there is room for them all in Chicago. As a result, the entire population is divided into thirds, each third attending conference at different time. Each of those groups is referred to as a "wave."
