Thursday, May 21:

North American EDC (Executive Diamond Council) members joined those from around the world today for the first Global EDC event – celebrating Amway Global’s 50th Anniversary. It’s at a gathering of this size that you realize the magnitude of the founding families’ accomplishment. Imagine, men and women from such diverse cultures and economies achieving such success under one enterprise. Fifty years ago, who would have dreamed of it?

All day long, EDC members arrived by private jet and were greeted at a private hangar by Amway Global Travel Staff. They have traveled from as far away as Asia and Australia, joining our IBOs from North America, including Members of the IBOAI Board. All are staying at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and the JW Marriott, the two premier hotels in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.



Representing the original founding families at the 50th Anniversary Celebration are second generation IBOs Jody and Gina Dutt, Jerry and Karen (Hansen) DeBlaay, and Jody and Kathy Victor.

After a day of rest, EDC members joined Founders Council members for the evening kickoff Welcome Party. There was an elegant reception and dinner at DeVos Place, then the private concert with performer Wynton Marsalis at DeVos Performance Hall. The evening was capped off with dessert and cordials plus post-concert fireworks.

Tomorrow, the celebration moves to Amway Global World Headquarters in Ada.
