One of the most enjoyable experiences we have at the IBOAI is to host enthusiastic IBOs from North America on guided tours around the IBOAI headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Whether it is during New Platinum Conferences or on other occasions when IBO groups are visiting Grand Rapids it is always a thrill to educate IBOs on the history of the Board and our very important role we have - to be the Voice of the IBO, as we collaborate with Amway Corporation on any matter that materially impacts the IBO experience.
On June 12, we had the pleasure of hosting approximately 70 IBOs from the Mark and Anne Elsenpeter Diamond Team for an exclusive tour at the IBOAI. The Elsenpeter organization had finished a successful year-long VCS incentive where the attendees were rewarded with a guided tour at Amway World Headquarters. On the morning of June 12, the attendees enjoyed a guided tour of the IBOAI. The icing on the cake was that the full Board was in Grand Rapids in town for our quarterly meetings, so the Elsenpeter team was surprised to meet all the IBOAI Committee Chairs prior to our Committee meetings starting their sessions. Each of the IBOAI Executive Committee members were on hand to give overviews of each of the Committees, talk about current topics that they are working on behalf of the IBOs, and the special relationship we maintain with our Amway staff friends and associates.
The IBOs in attendance enjoyed remarks from Mentoring Chairman Emeritus Bob Andrews, Past Chairman Joe Markiewicz, Vice Chairman Howie Danzik, and current Chairman Vinny Pappalardo. Many other Board Members were present to answer questions and take photos.
While each of the IBOs will tell you how honored they were to experience the in-person engagement with so many of the North American leaders serving on the IBOAI, it was equally energizing for the Board Members to share our history and the vital role we currently have to make this Business better for all IBOs for generations to come.
