Finding Affordable Flights: My Experience with Leadership Conference Club

[cmdtrgd]

Okay, so I have been looking for a straight-through flight from Boise to Chicago that didn't cost over $400. I finally found one! Wahoo!

Anyhoo, now I'm looking for my Leadership flight! I have been signed up for Leadership Conference Club for three months already....anyone else a dork like me?

 

[janetupnorth]

Good job! Of course, we're mostly dorks like you...he-he.

The only thing that sucks about having it in Cincinnati is that there are no direct flights from Boise...I would be willing to pay more, too! Flights are at $600 now, but I have some time...heh

I've been signed up for Leadership Conference Club since it opened earlier this year. Luckily, I won't have to book a flight -I can drive from Detroit. Woo-hoo!

 

[cmdtrgd]

Yeah...rub it in...but just wait until they find out that there are cities on the West coast of this country and we actually have roads and buildings and stuff...humph...

Maybe this will cheer me up:

Okay, how DO you put pictures directly in the post?!?!?

One thing I like when I was with Mary Kay many moons ago was that once a year there was a career conferene in a city near you...I wish PC did that.... I am too southern to go anywhere it snows during winter months lol...that's why I left Va for AL

There are the New Director Academies (going to Sacramento at the end of this week!) and Director Training Days and then whatever your director and the local people put together. But it is NOTHING like NC or Leadership!

That's what I did and it came up as a link.

Heh...I just had to click on the picture once more to get it by itself...thanks!

 

[cmdtrgd]

I just can't figure out how the cat got there...I mean, I know how hard it is to get into a hammock that is bigger than me...but one that is smaller?

 

[mheat923]

cats are amazing at that stuff

 

[cmdtrgd]

I think I hijacked my own thread...is that bad?

How much is Leadership - I guess it will tell me when I sign up for Ledership club

I didn't get to go to my local one in Dallas because I lost a consultant to inactivity. My plan is to change that around - Get more people on my team!

 

[cmdtrgd]

I believe it is $150 - I think that was what it was in Dallas. You can sign up for Conference Club now. I just do $25 a month, you can choose how much you want to have taken out.

 

[chefann]

Leadership is the same as National conference $175/$225.

 

[GourmetGirl]

Actually they raised the price for next year... they announced it at Leadership this year... early bird reg. will be $200...

wait... I think that was for leadership or was it for nationals for 2008??? Can anyone help me out on which conference's price was raised?

Just wanted to give you a heads up look into flying into Dayton as opposed to Cincinnati. CVG is one of the most expensive airports in this area Dayton is only 50 to 60 minutes away (Straight shot on I75) another option is columbus which is about an hour and a half away. It may save you a few $$

 

[cmdtrgd]

Karen - thanks! Do you know how to get to Cincinnati from Dayton without spending the savings in plane fare?

 

[chefann]

You could rent a car. It shouldn't be too bad. And if you go in with several consultants, you can get a van and share the cost.
