Montrose Travel’s 2008 Presidents’ Club the Largest Ever
MONTROSE, California – April 29, 2009 – It takes a year to gain entry to the Montrose Travel Presidents’ Club, and only the champions of the company are inducted. Formed in 1999, the Presidents’ Club exists to recognize an elite group of superstars who sell in excess of $1,000,000 in travel annually. In addition, there are 5 spots for non-selling Associates that have proved to exceed their job description. After a company wide nomination process, Montrose Travel’s President and Management Team ultimately select these non-agent winners.
The 2008 roster of the Presidents’ Club lists 40 winners, seven of which are brand new to the Club. For the first year of the Presidents’ Club there were only 12 of winners; now it has grown to its largest group ever. Over 100 people will be traveling on this year’s trip, including the winners, their guests, and management from Montrose Travel.
"Our President’s Club growth is due to the retention and recruitment of amazingly strong agents who find a long term home with us," said Andi McClure-Mysza, President of the Independent Contractor Division.
Also eligible are Montrose Travel’s on-site Independent Contractors and 500 Home Based Agents. Cathy Nilson, a top-selling Independent Contractor in the corporate sector says, "I’m honored to be inducted into the Presidents’ Club for the 9th time. It means that I am included with the elite agents of Montrose Travel and rewarded with a wonderful weekend for a year of hard work and commitment to meet my sales goals."
Each winner receives a weekend trip for him/herself and a guest. Past years’ trips included stays at luxury resorts and weekend cruises. The trip for 2008 winners will include something new: a chance for the winners to bring their kids. "Based on feedback from our previous superstars, it was suggested that we include and allow kids to come on this trip. Since Montrose Travel has deep family values, we thought it was a terrific idea", said Joe McClure, President.
The annual Year-End Holiday Awards Party in early December is when the honorees are announced and recognized. Montrose Travel congratulates those who met the elite standards for eligibility to the 2008 Montrose Travel Presidents' Club.
