I dedicate "About Us" to my mother
Cissi Maillot. She has been the driving force in my life. She
has always instilled the true sense of spirit, not only in me,
but in everyone she meets. The original definition of Global
Community would be my mother's motto - as she not only spoke
of, but her actions showed that everyone is important. It does
not matter your race, gender, status - the comprehensive theory
is simple - everyone has value, and ADDS value to our life.
It is my hope that I and each member of the company can emulate
the path of my mother, help you experience life with passion,
add value to your life and show you how you can be a light to
all those from diverse backgrounds you will encounter.
Victoria Lynden - President and CEO
