DALLAS, Texas – Angie Jones of John Day joined more than 35,000 Mary Kay independent business owners from throughout the United States and around the world at the company’s annual seminar held in Dallas, Texas, this summer.

The seminar is a business conference held in Dallas to educate, motivate and recognize the accomplishments of the Mary Kay independent sales force, which includes more than 1.8 million independent beauty consultants.

Jones began her Mary Kay business in 2007 and is currently an Independent Senior Beauty Consultant. At the seminar, Jones was recognized for being No. 8 in Unit Court of Retail Sales for the Downey-Shada Unit, and for being a part of the No. 1 unit in the state, a Cadillac unit, a million-dollar unit, and a Circle of Excellence unit.

Before traveling to Dallas, attendees were encouraged to collect previous pink and platinum Mary Kay compacts from their customers and bring them along for recycling. For every compact returned, Mary Kay Inc. will plant a tree – up to 100,000 trees – in the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana and Idaho through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation and under the direction of the U.S. Forest Service.
