LegalShield Hosts Successful 2023 International Convention in Charlotte

April 6th, 2023

LegalShield recently held its highly anticipated 2023 International Convention in Charlotte, N.C., from March 30 to April 2. The event brought together thousands of LegalShield Independent Associates from across North America to celebrate, network, and be inspired.

The convention featured a lineup of keynote speakers, breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and recognitions for outstanding achievements within the organization’s direct selling community. Some of the event highlights include:

  • The presentation of the Founders Award, the highest recognition within the organization, to Larry and Mary King, by LegalShield CEO Warren Schlichting.
  • This year’s Circle of Champions acknowledged the top 19 leaders who achieved exceptional success by building and leading their teams. 
  • Platinum4Life recipients Cliff Malloy and Elizabeth Gardner recognized on stage, with each earning a bonus as part of the program. Gardner was also recognized on stage for earning her Million Dollar Ring.

Schlichting delivered a powerful keynote expressing gratitude for each associate’s commitment and trust in LegalShield. He discussed his personal journey to LegalShield and the three thoughts that led him to join the company: the mission of delivering justice and security for all, LegalShield’s radical approach to addressing the broken legal system, and the opportunity to make a difference.

“As a first-time attendee, I was truly amazed by the incredible energy and enthusiasm that permeated the entire convention. Our associates are the driving force behind our mission, and it was an honor to meet such a talented and passionate community. Listening to their inspiring stories of making a difference in their communities reaffirmed my gratitude for their unwavering dedication and commitment to our shared purpose,” said Schlichting. 

“We’re sending thousands home from Charlotte with a revived sense of commitment, energy and focus on the idea that LegalShield products protect and empower our members and our society,” said Don Thompson, President of Network Division at LegalShield. “The enthusiasm our associates are showing toward our mission is incredible. The opportunity for these associates has never been greater.”
