SHARON BEAN<br />
Executive Director II • Crystal Lake, Il<br />
CeNtraL reGioN<br />
Being selected to this position is a<br />
wonderful affirmation of the work I<br />
have done so far. But more importantly,<br />
this opportunity is a way for my <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
sisters, in the Central Region and beyond,<br />
to communicate all their ideas, concerns<br />
and successes to corporate through me.<br />
<strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> wants to hear from the field and actively seeks change<br />
as needed. How wonderful to be a part of a caring company!<br />

I hope to continue the great work of<br />
previous President’s Circle members by<br />
keeping the ball rolling on important<br />
topics such as product, training, pay<br />
and benefits. The President’s Circle has<br />
the unique power to bring the heartfelt<br />
Consultant perspective to corporate. I<br />
plan to voice the issues and comments of Consultants in the<br />
Northwest Region, as well as those Consultants coast to coast.<br />
I believe the mere fact that we have a President’s Circle is a true<br />
reflection of the heart and soul of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> and the company<br />
we love so much!<br />

I have so much respect for <strong>Cookie</strong> and<br />
John and the fact that they have made<br />
the President’s Circle an opportunity<br />
available for Consultants. In the five plus<br />
years I have been involved with <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong> I have been so impressed with the way<br />
this company listens to their Consultants<br />
and quickly implements changes based on that feedback. I hope<br />
to be an excellent representative in decisions that are made so<br />
that they are a win-win for our company and the Consultants.<br />

SoutHweSt reGioN<br />
I am so honored to accept this position<br />
and I am eager to work hard, stretch,<br />
grow and help the company to reach new<br />
levels. I think we are on track for some<br />
exciting changes. I believe the President’s<br />
Circle provides an excellent opportunity<br />
for the company to see and hear what is going on in the field<br />
and it is an important tool for change and continued growth! I<br />
am really looking forward to the coming year.<br />
The 2009 President’s Circle members have been<br />
selected, and this year there is one representative<br />
from ALL seven of our U.S. regions! These topperforming<br />
Executive Directors and above will<br />
serve as an advisory board to corporate staff<br />
by bringing back feedback from the entire field<br />
and Consultant input on a variety of programs<br />
and incentives. They will continue to work<br />
directly with <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong>, CEO John Lin<br />
and corporate staff to positively impact<br />
the future of <strong>Cookie</strong> <strong>Lee</strong> for the best<br />
interest of the company and especially<br />
our Consultants! We are excited to<br />
welcome these seven influential<br />
leaders who will help make<br />
2009 an amazing year<br />
for ALL!<br />

I am so thrilled to be a part of <strong>Cookie</strong><br />
<strong>Lee</strong>’s future, and I plan on working<br />
hard to help in any way I can. I would<br />
like to see tools implemented in CLICK<br />
that will make our jobs easier and<br />
more productive. I would like to help<br />
formulate incentives that really get our<br />
teams fired up and ready to work even harder to achieve their<br />
goals. The past President’s Circle did some amazing things, and I<br />
hope to continue in that pattern to keep improving our already<br />
wonderful company!<br />
CELESTE LESLIE<br />
Executive Director I • Mount Joy, PA<br />
NortHeaSt reGioN<br />
It is an honor to be selected to represent<br />
the Consultants of the Northeast<br />
Region. I believe that the President’s<br />
Circle is the voice of the Consultants. We<br />
represent the views and needs from the<br />
field. My goal with the President’s Circle<br />
is to ensure that the entire field of Consultants is represented<br />
and that our needs are met in a realistic manner. I look forward<br />
to being a part of the team that assists corporate in making<br />
decisions and improvements for all Consultants.<br />
LISA YOAkUM<br />
Executive Director II • greensboro, NC<br />
SoutHeaSt reGioN<br />
I think it was an excellent strategy<br />
to select one President’s Circle<br />
representative from each of the seven<br />
U.S. regions, to ensure that all areas<br />
of our country are well represented.<br />
Since there are many differences in<br />
demographics, local economies and<br />
even fashion trends, I am so honored to share the Southeast<br />
perspective with our company leaders while being a voice for the<br />
Consultants in my region!<br />
