Thirty-One Gifts has announced Tricia Edmundson, of Clayton (NC 27527), has earned a promotion to national executive director after three years of service. Her new position is the top leadership level for sales people at Thirty-One, which is one of the nation’s fastest-growing directing-selling companies. Edmundson is just one of 21 sales consultants to reach this level.

“Tricia is one of many inspiring successes at Thirty-One who has emerged since the company was formed in 2003,” said Cindy Monroe, CEO and founder.

Not only has Edmundson achieved Thirty-One’s highest sales level, she is one of only three national executive directors who have risen to the level in only three years. During her rapid rise, Edmundson has served on the company’s Leadership Council for three years, is a member of the President’s Advisory Council and has traveled on the company’s last two leadership incentives trips. She says she finds motivation from the quote "If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, you haven't done much today,” by Duke Basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski.

“We are so proud of our amazing national executive directors as they reach this premier level in Thirty-One’s career path,” said Monroe. “To reach this level of leadership, a national executive director has built a substantial team and shown unmatched leadership. Women like Tricia demonstrate that with Thirty-One, you can achieve your dreams and those of your family, and have a successful career on your own terms.”
