It's exciting to be a Brand Ambassador for Anthony Humpage and this extraordinary company. It is equally rewarding to learn from this stellar team as a student. Together, we will share a process that removes barriers and obstacles, regardless of gender, race, and current circumstances. Legacy Education Alliance is the democratization of wealth creation. Bringing these opportunities to people all over the world is the Legacy difference. Mr. Humpage has placed knowledge, possibilities, strategic planning, and empowerment in the hands of every student. In today's world, we are responsible for our own branding and discovering multiple opportunities for true financial security. We know of no other organization that offers the unique educational support and team spirit that is available at Legacy Education Alliance," said Kathy Ireland, on the eve of her debut event with Legacy Education Alliance in Las Vegas, NV.

Women are leading more businesses, at a greater rate of success, than ever before. Legacy Education Alliance is committed to serving all people who become our students. We work diligently to offer state-of-the-art information on financial markets, real estate, entrepreneurship and personal finance… every day. A major initiative is having an acute awareness of the manner and special skills that women are bringing to the financial world in greater numbers than ever before. We are here to serve men, women, and families. One of the reasons we asked Kathy Ireland to join our team, is to communicate with families around the world, in sharing our powerful message.
