Building and Growing Together: USANA’s First European Convention

USANA Europe Convention

Building and Growing Together. This was the goal and the promise made to each of the USANA Distributors who came to the exceptional first USANA European Convention.

The April 6 event held at the Grand Rex (a magical, historical venue in Paris) made for an incredible day of emotions, surprises and gratitude. It brought together Distributors from all over the world, including:

  • 1-Star Diamond Directors Rommel and Daisy Balaguer from the Philippines
  • 5-Star Diamond Directors Jacques Fiset and Sophia Marcoux and 4-Star Diamond Director Seta Der Artinian, representing Canada
  • And, of course, several hundred French, Belgian and English Distributors

Each Distributor and each country were united in the same USANA message — Health and Freedom. This message resounded loudly in the magnificent Grand Rex theater.
