As
an IBO, you have the opportunity to belong to the
Independent Business
Owners Association International, an organization created to
serve your common interests. The newly elected Board of the
IBOA
International is just like you – passionate about and devoted to the
business.
The Board is charged with protecting the integrity
of the IBO Plan, ensuring as-good or better opportunities for the future, and
acting as advisors to
Amway Global. It meets four times throughout the year to
discuss these and other issues and to make recommendations for the growth and
success of the business.
While the Board members represent all IBOs
with a single voice, they participate in six committees charged with
some of the most important issues that affect your business.
Executive Committee members – the
officers and other selected Board members – exercise the powers and
authorities of the
IBOA International between regular and special Board
meetings, including the appointment of members to the five standing
committees.
Awards and Recognition Committee
members evaluate proposed changes to Amway Global’s incentive and awards
program and make recommendations to Amway Global.
International Committee members
focus on new policies or changes to existing policies regarding business
outside of North America.
Legal and Ethics Committee members
address a variety of related topics such as the Internet, dispute
resolution, tax issues, and the Rules of Conduct. Business Operations
Committee members handle proposed changes to IBO benefits, new products
and programs, distribution methods, communications technology, and
similar matters affecting the operation of every IBO business.
Hearing and Disputes Committee members
help facilitate and promote the mutually satisfactory resolutions of
concerns and disputes as outlined in the Rules of Conduct (11.3).
IBOA International also supports the
Marketing Advisory Committee (MAC), an ad hoc committee that partners
with Amway Global to provide input about IBO literature, product lines,
marketing, procedures, and more. Watch future issues of Achieve®
Magazine for more information about the MAC.
The
IBOA International is your
organization. Use it to share your experiences, concerns, and ideas with
others like you. For more information or to contact the
