She SOARED to Sr. Division!EXECUTIVEPROMOTIONLeah Fuhrmann joined at the entry level of Fashion Director just a yearand a half ago, and immediately began her climb up Park Lane’s managementladder. We are proud to announce that this vivacious young womanfrom Texas has risen through the ranks to qualify for promotion to the levelof Senior Division manager. We asked Leah to share her thoughts on herPark Lane experience...“My Park Lane journey began in January 2007, when I attended a showgiven by Aleta Howell. During her presentation Aleta talked about havingbeen with the company for 15 years and taking 30 FREE vacations.WOW! I wanted in on this! As Aleta revealed more and more of thejewelry, my Wish List grew and grew. By the end of the show, I hadaccumulated so many “must-haves”, I decided I needed to enjoy thebenefits of hosting my own get-together. That night, I ordered my favorites,booked a show, and even commented to my Mom, “You know, Ishould just do this.”I was not really sure when I was going to squeeze in a jewelry party. At the time I was working nightsas a Registered Nurse and had a six-month-old daughter at home. Actually, I had been praying for a‘dream job’ that would allow me to stay home with my daughter; a job that wouldn’t require me to stayup all night to do it, one that didn’t expect me to work shifts on holidays, and for which I would stillmake a decent income. At the start, I just thought Park Lane would be something fun to do and wouldgive me the chance to earn lots of FREE jewelry; but after six months with Park Lane, I realized that Ihad found that ‘dream job’ I had been seeking!My Park Lane career has allowed me to stay home with my daughter, set my own hours, and earn afabulous living. No longer do I have to pick and choose the holidays I will spend with my family. Ohyes, and those vacations I wanted in on… I took my first vacation with Park Lane to Cancun. It wasincredible! After that trip I decided I had to earn each and every vacation Park Lane had to offer. Iearned four trips to Rome and two to Atlantis. I can not wait for Atlantis!!I thank God for placing Park Lane in my path and my team for their hard work and enthusiasm. All ofthe training and encouragement I have received from Aleta has truly been amazing, not to mention thesupport from the LeVin family and home office. And last, but not least - I want to thank my husband,Matthew for all his support, without which none of the rest would have been possible.”SVP Aleta Howell says, “I knew right from the very start that Leah was destined for success….Even as a brand new Fashion Director, she displayed an intense desire to learn and to grow. Sheattended every training session and meeting available to her. It’s such a joy to work with someone who isso open, dedicated, and positive! Leah is a committed team player; she’s always there to offer a helpinghand and serves as a great role model to her team. She is a huge asset to our entire organization and Iam so very proud of her accomplishments. In every sense of the word, Leah is a SUPER STAR!”JUNE 2008 19
