Bridge to Brisbane

Stephen and Stewart, happy after completing the race!
Several of our members participated in this year's Bridge to Brisbane race. Our team was led by our director Stephen Page and assistant director Stewart Jones.

Our T shirts were provided courtesy of national director Catherine Lonergan, who called on the skills of a Leads Club member at another chapter to design the shirts.

"It was another wonderful race. Even if not racing, the spectacle of the day was more than worth the early start," said Stephen.

"I thought it would be much more arduous than it was. I had a great time," said Stewart.

National Director in town

Leads Club Australia national director Catherine Lonergan was in town on Saturday, and our director, Stephen Page, was lucky enough to catch up.

Catherine was in Brisbane for the first Australia and New Zealand Dubli conference. DubLi is a web platform originating in Dubai. It is a world wide online trading firm. It is composed of two very unique and individual business models; DubLi.com - a reverse auction portal for high level branded merchandise and DubLi Network - the business opportunity where anyone can establish their own business in a competitive market; with little if no risk.

Visit to Whittier Leads Club

Our director, Stephen Page of Harrington Family Lawyers recently spoke at Whittier Chapter of Leads Club in Los Angeles.

Richard Montano, Stephen Page, Lisa Bentson, Mark Villalobos

Those attending Whittier Chapter included fellow guest speaker Lisa Bentson, director Mark Villalobos, and assistant director Richard Montano.

Stephen spoke about our chapter, and how he became involved in Leads Club.

Whittier Chapter is a thriving chapter at Whittier, which is southeast of Los Angeles, but about 30 minutes north of Anaheim. The chapter was founded 15 years ago. Members were keen to give each other leads, and the number of leads (and their value) were monitored so that the success or otherwise of the chapter and each member in it was able to be measured. It was clear that networking within the club had been so successful that in addition to the business each member gave to the others that friendships had evolved.

Members spoke positively about a recent mixer involving the local chamber of commerce.

Lisa Bentson is the president of Ali Lassen's Leads Club and is the daughter of the founder, Ali Lassen. Lisa was the other guest speaker on the morning, and quickly engaged with chapter members.

Lisa and all the members of the Whittier chapter were friendly and inviting. Stephen was made to feel very welcome. Well done!
