“What makes this business different than any other
opportunity,” says
Jody
Dutt, “is
that we have an elected body called the
IBOAI
that works with the Corporation, and as a result, a Code of
Ethics that gives the IBO some protection.”
Jody’s father, Jere, a founding member of the American Way
Association, precursor to the IBOAI, was a milkman whose
struggling delivery route had been cut in size five times. “My
father quit the milk route when I was three years old,” says
Jody, “which was about a year after starting Dutt Sales,
selling
Nutrilite.” Jody’s
father had not tried to talk Jody into doing the business,
too, but told him it was available to him if he ever wanted
it. “I was 18 or 19 when I finally got involved,” says Jody.
“After working a couple of different jobs I could see the
difference between being an employee or an owner. The first
time I saw the Plan, it was like a flood light turned on. I
could build something, own it, and unlike the milk route, it
couldn’t be taken away. This is what my Father realized the
first time he saw the Plan.”
Over the years, the IBOAI and
Amway
Global have
joined forces to strengthen the
Rules of Conduct
and Code of Ethics to protect all IBOs. When changes to
these two very important documents are recommended by the
Corporation or the
Board,
the guiding criterion is, will it protect all IBOs? The
IBOAI has made it job number one to be your voice and your
advocate in the deliberations.
No other business or association offers this kind of
advocacy or protection for its members.
