75 Amway India Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. July - August 2010 Crown Peggy & Bill Britt SUSTAINABILITY Footprints Small actions can create big change in the world we live in. In Amway’s case, a handshake between two friends in Grand Rapids, Michigan, turned into an incredible legacy, a global footprint of empowered business owners and lives forever changed for the better. We’re proud of that footprint, so it seems strange to say that we want to reduce it. But that’s exactly what we’re going to do. In 2010 and beyond, we want to make the Amway business one that you can be even more proud to represent. So, we’ve set some aggressive goals related to reducing our impact on the environment. We’re already very proud – and we know you are, too – of the organic and sustainable practices used on our Nutrilite farms. There, we take every opportunity to replenish the soil and maintain balance with our natural surroundings. It’s the right thing to do – for this generation and the next. We’ll share our progress with you, and side by side, we’ll continue to make our mark. It’ll just be a lighter one.

Amway Founders Council Meeting 2010: New York, USA The Founders Council meeting at New York was thrilling and exciting. It was like being in a fairy tale. We were delighted to be amongst the “best of the best”. The wonderful part was that Rich DeVos, Doug DeVos and Steve Van Andel were there throughout the whole trip. It was also an honour to have Bill and Rajneesh there all the time, which was a bonus and they helped us in every possible way. The best part was that both of us had our individual interpreters, who were with us all the time, and helped translate all the conversations. It really enhanced our communication and understanding. The farewell dinner was arranged at the museum, which was booked only for Amway, and we were all escorted in individual limousines. It was like a high prole wedding procession. The interaction with Executive Vice President, Jim Payne was quite amazing. It widened our vision and we promised that we would have many more Founders Council members from India in the near future. The experience was like a new dream with a vision which will help all our friends rise to the top. The message to the Indian Diamonds is that with a desired level of commitment and willingness to work towards your goals, you can also achieve this signicant milestone. Amway Business in India has a huge untapped potential, and we are still at an early stage of its realization. The overall feeling was of utter excitement, thrill and most humbling gratitude to the Universe that has guided us to this level. 05 AMAGRAM • July - August 2010 RECOGNITION CrownA Crown is qualied Platinum who has sponsored 18 legs, each of which was at the 21% performance bonus level for at “Bill looked at the Amway least 6 months of the performance year or is a Diamond bonus Recipient who has achieved 22 FAA Points.
