1966 — A New Name: The ADA
The American Way Association changes its name to ADA-U.S. Simultaneously,
Canadian IBOs form the ADA-Canada to provide the same protection
and representation U.S. IBOs receive through the ADA-U.S.
1991 — Association Council Created
Together, ADA-U.S. and ADA-Canada adopt an agreement with the
Corporation that creates the ADA Council and legally clarifies
its role as an advisor and consultant to the Corporation.
1994 — ADA-U.S. and ADA-Canada Combine
ADA-U.S. and ADA-Canada combine to form a single organization
named The ADA. A new, larger Board is formed to replace the
Boards of Directors of both former organizations.
The Corporation formally agrees to submit to The ADA any proposed
new policy or policy change that might affect IBOs in the U.S.
and Canada. These include, but are not limited to, changes in
the Sales and Marketing Plan, changes to the Rules of Conduct
for IBOs, and changes to various IBO documents.
The Association has the opportunity to evaluate a proposed new
policy or policy change and make a recommendation to the Corporation.
Final decision-making authority remains with the Companies.
1999 — A New Name: The IBOA International
The ADA is renamed the Independent Business Owners Association
International (IBOA International).
"This is not so much a name change as it is the act of
embracing what we have become," said Paul Miller, then President of the IBOA International.
The launch of
Amway Global, formerly Quixtar and the IMC (Independent Business Owner
/ Member / Client) structure, presents a new era for Independent
Business Owners.
