A few of Young Living’s top 2015 moments: • I turned the position of CEO over to Mary. • We had the biggest year for event attendance for our International Grand Convention in Dallas, Texas. We have had unprecedented numbers attending recognition retreats–including three separate silver retreats–and an amazing turnout from both members and the local community for Lavender Days and the Fall Einkorn Harvest and Draft Horse Show at the farm in Mona. • We watched our first-ever distillation and production of Northern Lights Black Spruce, which has allowed us to bring back the original formulation of Valor® essential oil blend. • We were thrilled by our ever-expanding global offices and new markets, as well as new farms and distilleries, including our Croatia Helichrysum Farm and Distillery, which hosted a ribbon-cutting event in October. • We enjoyed many accolades and much recognition from Utah Business Magazine, Direct Selling Association, Better Business Bureau, and Telly Awards—just to name a few. We have many reasons to celebrate with our global family. We are about sharing our products to help people on their journey to discover and reach their highest potential. Together, with so
