COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2014--
Mannatech®,
Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), the pioneer of nutritional
glycobiology, leading innovator of naturally-sourced
supplements based on Real
Food Technology® solutions and creator
of the M5MSM (Mission
5 MillionSM) social entrepreneurial
movement, hosted its annual training event for hundreds of Associate
leaders at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Convention Center in Frisco,
Texas, November 7-9, 2014.
The event featured internationally recognized speaker, Les
Brown, who gave a special presentation Saturday evening on achieving
breakthroughs in business and the importance of financial freedom and
one’s social contribution. The general sessions were led by various
Mannatech leaders who shared personal stories and explained the
principles that they themselves have implemented to develop successful
teams and businesses. Mannatech executives who spoke included Dr.
Robert Sinnott, CEO and Chief Science Officer; Al Bala, President;
Ray Robbins, Co-Founder/Board of Directors; and Bob Adam, General
Manager U.S.
“This year’s Leadership Experience proved that something significant has
happened to Mannatech,” said Dr. Robert Sinnott, CEO and Chief Science
Officer. “Associate leaders are teaching other Associate leaders; and
they are learning that by implementing our tools and strategic tactics
to effectively promote their businesses, they can become even greater
leaders and achieve the success they’ve been working for. I believe that
each person who attended was given a new dream through the
encouragement, example and training they received, and I look forward to
seeing it come to pass in their lives.”
In addition to leadership training, Mannatech launched a brand new
product, GlycoBOOM™
slimsticks. This advanced product supports healthy immune
function with a proprietary blend of plant and food-sourced
glyconutrients and vitamin C*. GlycoBOOM
slimsticks are made from naturally sourced ingredients and are free from
gluten, dairy, soy, and artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners. The
new product officially became available for online purchase following
the Leadership Experience on Monday, November 10.
A second special announcement was made to introduce the M5M Foundation,
an organization that will facilitate and expand Mannatech’s efforts to
combat the epidemic of childhood malnutrition on a global scale. The
