Board Meeting Updates

We had very productive meeting at our March IBOAI Board Meetings and will update you below with items that can be shared at this point.

Ongoing discussions about the Heritage Program which includes Legacy and Vested Diamonds … especially with new Amway Staff members, as well as new IBOAI Board Members. This is a vital part of the Awards & Recognition agenda to honor the achievements of those who paved the way for all of us.

Working on possibly repurposing the “Amway Sales pins” to align with VCS and with Bronze when it launches.

L&E viewed a presentation from Joe DePetris on current tax issues that IBOs will be impacted by under current and proposed tax laws.

Amway Business Conduct and Rules department presented an update on the progress and trends with Amway products being sold illegitimately through online/brick and mortar stores and through exporting those products outside North America.

L&E engaged in dialogue with Amway BCR about Quality Assurance Standards compliance, Opportunity Messaging and development of QAS Content and Program Standards.

L&E offered suggestions for assisting BCR department with future AP Calibration Mtgs, AP Summit Mtgs and messaging QAS guidelines to the field.

L&E took part in a presentation and discussion with Amway's Government Affairs team on the topic of legislation and advocacy for policy that strengthens opportunity for Amway IBOs for generations to come.

L&E offered suggestions to Amway on effective methods to process the sale of an IB.

L&E reviewed the impact of Criteria Based Reclassification on Platinums and above.

L&E made suggestions to Amway on methods to inform all IBOs on accessibility of proper income disclosures to be used by all IBOs when presenting the Amway Sales and Marketing plan to prospects.

L&E is proud of the development of the Succession Planning program and with cooperation from Amway the IBOAI intends to help inform the IBO population on the benefits of Succession Planning to all IBOs intending to build a long term generational business.
