Amway would like to congratulate president Doug DeVos and chief marketing officer Candace Matthews for having received prestigious national honors.
Doug accepted the Circle of Honor Award, the highest honor given by the Direct Selling Education Foundation, last Tuesday in Washington D.C. The award recognizes outstanding leadership to the foundation. From Doris Christopher, DSEF chair:
“Doug has been a real leader, a visionary and a voice of reason for the foundation.”
Also last week, Candace was inducted into the Executive Leadership Council, one of the most prestigious associations of African American corporate officers of Fortune 500 companies. Steve Van Andel, Amway’s chairman. proclaimed:
“Amway is proud to work with Candace, and proud to see others recognize her leadership and track record.”
Truly, news to be proud of!
It has come to our attention that a certain arena bearing our name in Orlando will be part of tonight’s televisied NBA Finals at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
And by “come to our attention” we mean that we have been downright giddy just thinking about hearing and seeing “Amway Arena” on camera and from the mouths of fans and commentators.
So much so that we decided to track the number of Amway mentions tonight, as well as Thurs., June 11 and, if necessary, June 14. We even launched a new blog today to help keep score. An Amway Arena placard on the scoreboard? That counts. Anything from tip-off to final buzzer—and we’re asking our friends, employees, customers and distributors to help.
Tune in and take a guess!

Amway Global, our North American business, continues to dominate online health and beauty retailing in the United States. For the sixth year running, we are Internet Retailer’s top online health and beauty seller.
The magazine also ranked us 28th in overall web sales in its ranking of the top 500 e-commerce companies.
Steve Lieberman, Amway Global’s managing director, cites our company’s sales force and powerhouse brands Nutrilite (vitamins, minerals, and supplements) and Artistry (skin care and cosmetics) as key to our leadership in this category:
“The ranking would not be possible without the hard-working [people] who drive our sales. It’s also a great testament to the quality and appeal of our key health and beauty brands, Nutrilite supplements and Artistry skin care and cosmetics.”
