IBOAI HISTORY

First we were The American Way Association - then, with the formation of Amway Corporation, we became the Amway Distributors Association. As the business changed and Amway Corporation became Alticor, encompassing Amway and its sister companies like Quixtar (now Amway North America), so the Association matured and we became the IBOAI (Independent Business Owners Association International). Today as always, the IBOAI is the voice of the IBO and their advocacy organization with Amway North America. Take a moment to learn about our proud history of service:
