Members Go To Washington D.C. To Help Herbalife

 

Global nutrition and skin-care firm Herbalife announced six independent Florida affiliate members will take part in a group pilgrimage to Washington D.C.  Their mission is to lobby lawmakers and promote the company’s focus on healthy lifestyles over the past 34 years.

Florida participants will be among 21 Herbalife Members from six states, including California, Connecticut, New York, North Carolina and Virginia.

The Floridians will represent more than 54,480 independent Herbalife Members from across the state. According to a statement from Herbalife, it will be the first time they “bring a clear message to Capitol Hill about the opportunity and integrity behind Herbalife’s products.”

“As I look across my community, I see that a healthy active lifestyle is something we all need to do a better job of embracing,” says Andres Mejia, a Herbalife Member from Miami. “Herbalife provides a roadmap to success so that an individual can achieve their fitness goals one step at a time. The goal of Herbalife is to motivate people to be the best they can be and I am proud to be a part of that.”

Mejia and the group will address four issues with lawmakers:

In support of the Washington pilgrimage, the company created an iamherbalife.com website, as a way to highlight — in Members’ own words – the “positive impact Herbalife has had on the lives of the company’s members and customers.”
