Today, 19 independent members from global nutrition company, Herbalife
(NYSE: HLF), will be in Washington, D.C. to educate their congressional
representatives about Herbalife and how their lives have been improved
since becoming involved with Herbalife. The members are visiting
Washington, D.C. from California, Illinois, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Maryland, South Dakota, and Tennessee.
"Herbalife has empowered me to take steps to live a more healthy and
active lifestyle,” said Mario McKinley, an Herbalife member from
California. “I am honored to have the opportunity to visit my elected
representatives and explain what these products really are and how the
company has helped me and so many other people in California.”
“We appreciate our members taking time out of their busy lives to meet
with their congressional representatives in Washington, D.C.,” said Ibi
Fleming, senior vice president and managing director for Herbalife’s
North American region. “Our Herbalife members go above and beyond to
show their dedication to the company because they’ve personally
experienced the results that can come from living a healthy, active
lifestyle.”
The members are in DC to talk about Herbalife’s science-based nutrition
products and the benefits they’ve received from using the products.

the income-generating opportunities that are available to Herbalife

own small business,” said Tara Kirkpatrick, an Herbalife member from
North Carolina. “I’ve been working with Herbalife for five years and
thanks to hard work and dedication I am able to provide for my family by
sharing nutritious products with my friends and neighbors. I’m honored
