After a week of 15-hour days, the
IBOAI Board
committees made their recommendations to
Amway Global for
consideration and everyone has gone home with a renewed sense of
excitement.
“We were able to sustain our Brand New Day philosophy and continue
to dialogue with the Corporation like no other Board in history,”
said Chairman Bill Hawkins, who just wrapped up the fourth and final
Board Meeting for 2008. “We’re hopeful you will soon see what a
difference this year has made.”
Board Members in the
Awards & Recognition,
Business Operations, and
Legal & Ethics Committees and
Marketing Advisory Committee (MAC) Members worked closely with
Amway Global Vice President of Sales Sandy Spielmaker and other
corporate staff to iron out recommendations, all of which we hope
the Corporation will enact. In addition, Amway Global Vice President
and Managing Director Steve Lieberman and Alticor Executive Vice
President Jim Payne contributed to key sessions.

These full-day sessions resulted in a number of proposals on how to continue with Amway Global’s Transformation plan, encouraging the
company to keep the Board and field leadership involved in the
process. Many of the details are being finalized so we can’t be more
specific, but you will soon see the results of the hard work. Watch
for details in the weeks ahead.
In addition to recognizing members retiring from the Board and MAC
at the end of the year, the Board issued awards during the General
Closing Session for meritorious service:

This marks the end of the IBOAI’s 49th year. Although
this was the final official Board Meeting of 2008, your Board
continues work tirelessly through the end of the year on important
issues by way of phone conference calls, e-mails, and other
communications channels. As we head into our 50th year as
the voice of the IBO and the Amway Global Transformation continues,
we move forward as the industry leader because we march together.
