CREDENDO VIDES CHAIRMAN'S AWARD
Carved into the fireplace in David and Bianca Lisonbee’s home are the Latin words: “Credendo Vides” (believing is seeing). We live in a “seeing is believing world” where people want proof of results before the exercise the faith, commitment, and work required to fulfill their dreams. A few people, however, are Credendo Vides visionaries. They see what they want in their mind’s eye, and rather than letting fear or doubt paralyze them, they believe in the power of seeing their dreams into fruition.
A Credendo Vides Chairman’s Award recipient is an inspiration to others, a leader in his/her organization, passionate about the success of 4Life, and living the company’s mission of Together, Building People®.
At Convention 2004, 4Life introduced the Credendo Vides Award, and announced that 4Life’s very first distributor was also its very first Credendo Vides winner, Dr. Rob Robertson. Dr. Rob (as he is affectionally known) was honored for his ability to inspire others with his passion for 4Life and for his never-ending support during 4Life’s initial growth years.
In 2006, 4Life honored Dr. Herminio Nevarez and Yadira Olivio as the second recipients of this prestigious award. Herminio and Yadira were described as showing the world what can be done when one believes in the power of dreams and couples that belief with kindness, generosity of spirit, and unwavering dedication.
At 4Life’s last convention, elevation ’07, Esdras Cabrera Alberto and Rosa Nelia Vargas walked down the aisle as 4Life’s third Credendo Vides Chairman’s Award recipients. Esdras and Rosa were heralded as living examples of 4Life’s Philosophy, “Together, Building People” and everyone who attended both saw and felt the force of their compassion and dedication to changing lives through service.
SILVER DOLLAR AWARD
Last convention, 4Life introduced The Silver Dollar Award—an award celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit of David Lisonbee. Although recipients did not need to be of a rank higher than Diamond, they did need to exhibit idealism, a strong work ethic, and an entrepreneurial spirit. David Lisonbee declared, “This award holds a special place in my heart because it celebrates the attributes that are nearest and dearest to me: the value and satisfaction of hard work; the spirit of idealism; and the entrepreneurial spark that ignites the desire for success—both for yourself, and for those around you.”
