Jae,

If your upline Executive is Yvonne Mattson, then that is the benquet you will attend.

The easy way to figure it out is start with yourself. Ask, "Am I an ED or above?" If the answer is no, then look at the person immediately above you. Is that person an ED or above? Keep doing that until you get to someone who is. That's the banquet you'll attend.
 
Thanks Ann.
I think I'll go with that, but hopefully my director will be able to confirm this even though she isn't going to NF.
 
Pam signed25 or 26 years ago I believe. Not sure how it actually occured except I think Pam attended a party in Northern Illinois and the rest is history.
Doris actually used to come up to Milwaukee once a month for training meetings. That lasted a few years at the very beginning of her being the first Director. I thought that was pretty cool too when I heard that.

JAE - You will be in Yvonne's Banquet. Yvonne is Home Office Direct so there is no one above her.

Enjoy the banquet - I hear it is a fun time...

I had to switch to Wave 2 so I won't be there... :(

Next year hopefully I'll get to meet more of my cluster.

I've met Yvonne and some others who are in her first line but not too many yet.
 
And JAE - you probably know this by now (;) ) but you can sit with me at the banquet!!! I'll be there too! I'm looking forward to actually meeting you! - Maybe even before conference!
 
Knowing you roomie...... it is going to be a fun banquet this year!! I too will miss being with Terri :(

Pam Stickowsky's group and sorry Pam, I ALWAYS spell your last name wrong! You know, she signed directly under Doris!

I'm in Pam's (Sztukowski) banquet, too, John. I just received an e-mail from her inviting me to sit at her table. I got to sit with her for the last two years, and it's always a blast talking to her. She's so down-to-earth and is truly interested in hearing our stories.

Can't wait!
 
Chris Manion for me.
