Fly like an eagle

Diane Walker is the newest Eagle in SendOutCards!

Eagle is the highest rank in SOC and Diane is the first person to get to that level since I joined the company five and a half years ago. She joins current Eagle Distributors Jordan Adler, DeMarr Zimmerman and Bob & Betty Ann Golden.

The rank of Eagle is in honor of founder and CEO Kody Bateman's brother Kris. Years ago, Kody ignored a prompting, that inner voice that tells you that you should say or do something, that he should say goodbye to his brother Kris when Kody was moving to New York City from Salt Lake City. Kody didn't say goodbye and he was devastated when he got a call from his mother in the middle of the night that Kris had been killed in an on the job accident. At that moment Kody swore that he would never again ignore a prompting and he would make it easy for others to act on their promptings.

All of the Bateman's were active in Scouting,,,Kody and his brothers, as well as his father. were all Eagle Scouts and Kris was a Scoutmaster at the time of his death. Eagle is the highest rank in SOC because it is the highest rank in Scouting.

I've never met Diane but I've heard of her. At one time she was the top earner in SendOutCards. She works tirelessly to support her team with little thought of herself, but this is exactly why she's an Eagle...she always puts her team first and they rise up in support of her.

So, congratulations Diane Walker...SendOutCards' newest Eagle!
