Sometimes thank you isn’t quite enough. This month Eileen Elliott, our Executive Director for the Los Angeles and Orange County regions leaves Leads Club for retirement. To say her presence will be missed is an understatement. I wanted to share Eileen’s letter with you.

Dear Leads Club Members,

For the past twenty eight years I have been a member of Leads Club, the original and most respected networking organization in the business world. For twenty six of those years I have had the privilege and honor of serving you as your Executive Director in the Los Angeles Region.

In the seven years since I created the $100,000 list, chapters on the list have generated many thousands of quality leads and a total of over thirty five million dollars in net income. The total net production of all chapters in our region over the whole 28 years however, is most likely in the one hundred million dollar range.

In addition to business expansion, the development of life long friendships, more ease with public speaking, advice on business plans and problems; these are just a few of the other benefits you have reported to me over the years regarding your membership.

Thus it is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement on January 1, 2008. My Executive Assistant Lois Terrazas will be retiring also. Her help to me on many levels has been invaluable. Because of her, you receive top level customer service.

My greatest reward has been the opportunity to witness your personal and professional growth. I am proud of you for your commitment to each other
and to Leads Club.

I have been working closely with Lisa Bentson and her staff at the International Headquarters to insure a smooth transition. Their dedication to your success is equal to ours. They will be contacting you soon and look
forward to working with you.

With appreciation and respect,

Eileen Elliott
