In the future, observers will mark 2006 as not only a successful year for this business but a pivotal one as well. |

Greg Duncan passes the gavel to 2007 Board Chairman, Jim Janz
|
Successful because 2006 was another billion-dollar sales year. Because the Health and Beauty business lines continued to grow, led by XS™ Energy Drinks, Nutrilite® Brainiums DHA™ Dietary Supplement, Gensona™ Genetic Tests, and Artistry® Time Defiance® Skin Care. And because achievement at all levels – from the new IBO Crown Ambassador – remained strong, including increased numbers of IBOs qualifying for Achievers Invitational, Diamond Club, and Peter Island. Yet, 2006 was also pivotal because of the commitment to fresh ideas and new approaches by the Board of the Independent Business Owners Association International. With the Board's support, the Amway Global / Quixtar Business Incentives program was streamlined and refocused to more effectively reward IBOs. "The Facts About Amway Global" DVD was created to assist Independent Business Owners during the Sponsoring process. Every IBO was given the opportunity to have a customized personal retail website through Amway Global. And the Board began collaborating with Amway Global on retooling the product portfolio to increase retail sales and IBO profitability. |

In addition to meeting in October on these and other initiatives, the Board elected Jim Janz chairman of the executive committee and Don Wilson vice chairman. Also announced were the new Board members who begin three-year terms in January: Bob Andrews, Chris Brady, Bill Hawkins, Joe Markiewicz, John Merris, and Kathy Victor. The Board's ad hoc Marketing Advisory Committee also saw changes, with the retirement of Cheryl Biegert, Laurie Duncan (chair), and Molly Hughes and the election of Terry Andrews, Sandy Hawkins, and Terry Holland. Finally, as is the annual custom at the closing session of its October meeting, the Board presented special service awards: this year, the Joe Victor Leadership Award to Steve Woods and the Jere Dutt Lifetime Achievement to Jim Janz. |
