Chairman’s Club (United States)
Trey Herron is the second generation of an Herbalife Nutrition Distributorship. His parents started their Herbalife Nutrition business when he was only 10 years old. Seeing them in action – building a business while enjoying a healthy, active lifestyle and helping others to do the same – left an impression on Trey and ultimately inspired him to follow in their footsteps 29 years ago.
After marrying, Trey and Mamie went to expand their business abroad. They worked consistently for several years in Asia and developed an international organization. Yet, Trey and Mamie achieved their greatest success and Chairman’s Club* level after moving back to their home state of Mississippi, where they focus on Nutrition Clubs to bring healthy and tasty nutrition to small town communities all over the state. Since then, they have grown a successful organization rooted in their commitment and passion for serving others. Through Nutrition Clubs, they’re able to give back to their community by hosting free Fitness Camps, supporting local charities and fundraising efforts, and offering opportunities to learn about proper nutrition. They have provided access to healthy nutrition for thousands of people living in small town communities across Mississippi and other states through more than 1,400 independent Nutrition Clubs in their organization. They’ve also grown a generation of leaders, one of which reached the prestigious Chairman’s Club level.
