There is a sense of urgency among attendees regarding hotel bookings for an upcoming Leadership event, as many are eager to secure accommodations before the event. Some participants express concerns about their spouses attending sessions, noting that while partners can watch the new director's walk, they typically cannot attend formal sessions. Registration for the event is still pending, with no clear timeline provided by the head office, causing frustration among prospective attendees. Excitement is building around various sessions, especially those featuring a speaker named Belinda, and many are looking forward to earning bonus points associated with attendance. Participants are discussing personal challenges, including financial constraints and job situations, that may affect their ability to attend. Additionally, there are inquiries regarding eligibility for certain activities if a participant's status changes before the event. Overall, the forum reflects a mix of anticipation, logistical planning, and personal circumstances related to the Leadership conference.
That actually happened to me two years in a row--the first year one of my girls went inactive Dec 1st and then the second yr one went inactive Jan 1st I was still able to attend both years. It was worth it as it motivated me to recruit more.
I have not been "feeling" Leadership this year because the plane ticket prices are so high and I want DH to see me walk. Plus I would love for him to go with me to National. I just looked and can get tickets for $267 out of Orlando but that is still too high if I have to buy 2 tickets and pay for the whole hotel room. I don't know. I guess I need to get on the phone and book 5 extra shows where the money only goes towards this. Something to think about.

Hey Tiffany... check with your upline on the walking thing... unless they've changed something, and they might have, if you promote, you walk at the next conference be it Leadership or National. If you're up to walk at LS and you don't go, you don't get to walk at National... if you don't go to the conference that falls after your promotion, you pass up on your opp to walk. That's the way it used so check on it to be so be sure that you don't miss your opportunity!!!
It is not like that any longer Colleen. From what I've learned from some people who had to miss the next conference they were able to walk at the next conference they did attend.
that is not direct knowledge though just secondhand...so it would not be a bad idea to check with HO just to be sure!
I can ask (in writing) for an extention to walk at National. I will have to start that process here really soon so I guess I will have to make up my mind. I asked My NED about it at National and she said they've done it before. Maybe I will get a chance to talk to someone this weekend at HO and see what they think.
