Incentives: Memorable Week

Thank you and GMI for the incredible work this this past week (and earlier in preparation) for the President’s Club in Mauritius. By all measures, it was a great success. I heard feedback from multiple time winners that this was the best P club yet. The quality of the resort, high levels of service, and your ability to manage anything that came up made for a memorable week.

GMI is a True Partner

Here we are on the back side of another meeting cycle. It is because of you and your team that we are able to continue to experience such great success at our meetings. I can’t say enough about Stacey or Jnge. Both are true partners I depend on and enjoy working with. As well as everyone else on the teams. It was great to see some faces I hadn’t seen the last couple of meetings. Those people are the reason I rest a little easier at these meetings, because through the many, many meetings over the years your folks have become extended family to our organization. And I know they are doing as much (if not more) to make sure everything looks smooth as glass to our attendees. True partners!

Please thank everyone on both the NMM and NSM teams for me.
Kind Regards
