It just depends on how the line of sponsorship moved around. My NED is in Missouri, and most of my AD's group is here in Michigan, but one of her Directors just moved to Virginia. So as people move or recruit long-distance, it can really spread out the group.

And NED's have so many people under them, that it just stands to reason that they'd be all over.

Beth,

I was at Terri's last year - were you there??? Small world...:)
 
It is a small world..... everything was such a rush last year.... I really hope I cn go without such a star struck look on my face... LOL I am soooo excited!!
 
I am with Shan Eisler as well. Looking forward a good time this year!

We used to have an Executive Director between us and Shan and went to hers but now we are first line Shan. The Exec. Dir. lives here in TX and I think had moved here from up north.

I will be in Chicago... and believe me I am really excited about it..... We should get together and find out what workshops everyone is taking.
 
Donna McDonald for me! :D
 
I have No idea who my NED is. I live in Indiana and my director lives in oklahoma. And I don't have a hospitality director. So I don't have a lot of interaction with any group and I don't really know who anyone is. So hopefully I will figure out who my NED is. And this year meet some of my people!! I am very excited!!!

So who is your director, maybe someone on here knows them and their line and could fill you in. My director's director and a few above her are all in oklahoma.

OH HEY!! A fellow Donna McDonald girl!
I am hospitality in SC..but Donna is my director!
I'm thinking I'll probably go with my hospitality cluster, because I know them...I only know Donna...so I want to go with people I feel comfortable traveling with, eating and sleeping with!!!
But I've found someone in my 'cluster'!!
Is she your director? or is someone under her your director?

Are you hospitality? You are in TX... is your director in TX...
So neat to see faces of people in my group! I've always felt like an adopted child as hospitality!
 
I'm a 2nd line Director in Donna's cluster. :)

My line:
Me>Cindy Sparling>Donna McDonald>Chris Manion
 
etteluap70PC said:
Yvonne Mattson for me...

last time I went to conf. Not 1 person in my cluster went. I did not feel like going to a huge dinner not knowing a single person. I was instead invited to go with my hospitality group to Julie Jorgenson's banquet. She is awesome!!!

Just saw this...Yvonne will be there with a group from our cluster...

It is me, my recruiter, then Yvonne...My recruiter and myself will be in Wave 2 though - we have a waiver, but have fun with Yvonne...

Becky - just saw you are under Yvonne too...too bad I had to switch waves and miss you!!!!
 
Patsy McGovern is my Second line director, my third line director is Beth Jacobs (and I'm assigned to my 1st line director who is not a national exec direction).

So I'd be at Patsy's banquet?

That is pretty cool! When did she start?
 
"The thread with the list shows up on the first page if you click on new posts so you can see if your names are there."
What does this mean?
I'm trying to figure out whose banquet I'll be attending. My Upline Executive Director is Yvonne Mattson, but I'm not understanding all the "if's", "and's" and "but's". I'm so confused...
