FOREVER Live! 2019 Program Booklet

ADRIANA MEDEROS
Senior Executive Ambassador
Adriana was born and raised in Venezuela. She currently lives in Boynton Beach,
FL with her husband George and two girls Sofia (14) & Katie (12), Abuelita from
Venezuela (88) and whichever new pet Katie convinces George to get (bunny, dog,
fish and foster cats). Adriana and George met at their Information Technology job,
where they both still work after almost 25 years. Adriana was the Phi Theta Kappa
Historian in college and got into scrapbooking her family photos and vacations in
the late 90s. She enjoyed helping others learn about scrapbooking with traditional
photo albums but her love for the hobby grew tenfold when she was introduced to
digital scrapbooking. She quickly learned how to use the program and soon helped
others with technical questions to get their pages done too.
Adriana joined FOREVER at the first FOREVER Live! convention in Atlanta and
finally got a chance to meet several people she had helped online over the past few years with Artisan and Historian
questions. She continues to help Ambassadors and clients worldwide at odd hours of the night. She has built a team
of mainly Artisan users, but has quickly helped them see the many other benefits of FOREVER with permanent
storage and media conversion. Adriana & George have earned all 4 FOREVER Ambassador Achievement trips so
far and it is part of the family tradition to have Gramma drive South from Gainesville, Florida to take care of the girls
while Mom & Dad have their annual adults only vacation.
SHERI MEISSNER
Senior Executive Ambassador
Sheri Meissner is the wife of Josh for 21 years, but they have been dating since age
14! She is the mom of 3 active teens and they live out on the gravel roads of rural
Wisconsin on a large dairy farm. Sheri is proof that 15 minutes a day in your photos
really works to see progress. Therefore, she’s equipped to take away the excuse of
“I’m too busy,” and loves showing clients a manageable plan that can meet their
photo goals in 15 minutes a day, a few days a week. Sheri is a super fan of getting
things done, therefore LOVES FOREVER Print (but she equally shares storage &
conversion too). She has a goal of always reaching 5+ new clients a month in 2019 –
FOREVER Print and the phone app have really helped with this goal. Some interesting
facts about Sheri are that she has earned every FOREVER Ambassador Achievement
Trip, hosted an exchange daughter from Boliva this year who recently went home,
hates chocolate, is a Type 1 Diabetic and can play the accordion while pogo sticking!
FRAN SMITHERMAN
Executive Ambassador
Fran Smitherman was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, and lives there now
with her husband Chris and her two boys Christopher and Andrew (plus a handful
of cats and a hermit crab named Larry!). She has loved photo albums her entire life
thanks to her parents and her grandparents who always had them around. In high
school, she always handed out duplicates of photos she had developed for all of her
friends, and in college she bought every “Zap” photo on the proof sheet after events!
Wanting a career that was challenging and lucrative enough to get her a grand piano
and trip to Africa (her lifelong dreams), Fran majored in Finance in college with a
minor in Economics and Spanish. When she finished her time at the University of
Alabama with a graduate degree in Finance and Banking, she took a job in investment
research at Sterne, Agee and Leach, a regional brokerage firm, and within a year
she had moved to the Trust Department of AmSouth Bank (now Regions Financial
Corp) as a Consumer Staples analyst. She earned her CFA designation (Chartered Financial Analyst) and has been the
Director of Equity Research for Regions Investment Management for over 20 years. Throughout that time, Fran has
been grateful for the “softer” side to her life that being a photo consultant has provided her with, and nothing gives her
greater joy than hosting events at her home to give people a chance to work on their photo projects.
Fran is an Executive Ambassador who loves her family, her memories and her FOREVER Flames and Rockstar
teammates! She is a firm believer that this life is beautiful and worth celebrating, and has been helping people do
just that with their photos since 2002. She loves the FOREVER mission of saving photos and videos and is especially
grateful for the support of her upline Adriana Mederos, her Flames Team teammates/friends, the FOREVER home
office staff who work so hard on our software programs, applications and coaching, and of course the Pixies! Fran has
over a hundred traditional and digital scrapbooks and is sleeping better at night knowing they are safe at FOREVER
thanks to the folks in Green Bay and the FOREVER Print Shop! While she has a full time job and stays busy with her
two boys, dance and karate, she always makes time for her photos and wants to inspire others to do the same.
