Getting it Done in 75 Days

It’s that time of year –mid-May– when at home or at the office, you find yourself tackling projects that have been accumulating in that “to-do” list. You know the ones! They start accumulating in mid-January when it’s too cold, but we’ll get to them when we have a little more time.

What a Pisser

If you attended Shared Knowledge University, you know what I am talking about. 🙂

Class is in Session

For seven years, we have been committed to “Shared Success”! The concept is simple: What can we do to make our distributors better and to help them be more successful.

EDPA Foundation Scholarship

I have been fortunate to sit on the EDPA Foundation Scholarship Committee for many years. It’s something near and dear to my heart: education and supporting those within our industry getting their Education.

To date, the EDPAF Scholarship Committee has awarded nearly $110,000 in scholarships! Isn’t that awesome!! And its gone to a myriad of people from the kids of industry employees, industry employees themselves, as well as spouses who have chosen to further their education.
