• Frequently Asked Questions

The IBOAI Board just wrapped up another Board Meeting, during its 50^th year of representing IBOs as their official advocacy organization. It was a week full of discussion, action and the development of many recommendations from the IBOAI to Amway Global, all designed to bring positive change and continued growth to the business.

Committee Accomplishments
The 44 recommendations and actions by the IBOAI Committees during the October meeting included Awards & Recognition’s proposal to organize a Growth Programs Task Force, Business Operation’s suggestions on packaging, shipping, Web 2.0, promotional DVDs, social media, and samples, plus Legal & Ethics’ suggested Rules revisions on advertising, displays, and definitions. MAC spent many hours with Amway Global staff on recommendations for several new product bundles and marketing pieces. The IBOAI previewed the new Social Media Resource Center for IBOs, to be launched soon, (watch iboai.com for this new section), plus introduced its new Facebook page and YouTube channel.
