Club on April 18, 2008.  As the former Chairman and Co-Founder, Simone
Linschoten, stepped aside, she stated, "In order to take the Club to the
next level, we need someone who not only has a financial background, but
the passion and drive that our Founder, Dr. Lin had. I believe Dr.
Cathers, Jr. not only has that passion, but has the leadership qualities
the Club needs....It is an honor for me to announce he is the new
Chairman as he is one of the most honorable and trustworthy men I know." During his acceptance speech, Dr. Cathers re-iterated the Club's mission of 'helping people help themselves' will not change as the Club continues to grow throughout the world.

  Dr. Cathers, Jr. was introduced to the Club through Simone Linschoten,
Dr. Lin's daughter, in February of 2007. After reviewing the Club's
Stage One products, Dr. Cathers became increasingly interested in the
Club's materials and seminars. Through a series of events, Dr. Lin asked
Dr. Cathers to speak at a Club seminar. Unfortunately, Dr. Lin passed
away soon thereafter and they never physically met. Dr. Cathers became a
Board Member in April of 2007.
