ACHIEVE™ Magazine from Amway North America (formerly Quixtar)

With everything that's new for Independent Business Owners these days, it's good to know one thing hasn't changed. This is still the only business of its kind with an association and an elected board to advocate for its members.

In 1959, the American Way Association (now the Independent Business Owners Association International) was founded. Ever since, this Association, speaking through its Board, has been the effective voice of the Independent Business Owner. We've enjoyed a productive partnership with the Corporation. This voice and this partnership have been the keys to making this business among the best business opportunities in the world.

Now, however you've chosen to affiliate your business, your official voice has never been more important. Your IBOA International Board has worked closely with the Amway Global Corporation at every step to help develop new technologies and new ways of doing business that will carry us into the future. Together we've adapted a great idea to create even more opportunity in a new era.

Among the things that haven't changed are the ways the Board helps you...

• Market. We work with the Amway Global Corporation to develop unique, innovative, high-value products and services.

• Expand. We help the Amway Global Corporation streamline the logistics of building this business internationally, as well as over the Internet.

• Connect. With this new business, IBOs can now use the Internet to order, communicate, learn and streamline the way they do business.

Whatever your business affiliation, your Association and your elected Board are more instrumental than ever in making this the best independent business opportunity in the world. Your voluntary contributions make this all possible.
