Plexus Worldwide welcomed its own leaders as well as representatives from the Direct Selling Association and the Council for Responsible Nutrition to discuss the impact of the dietary supplement and direct selling industries. The congressional briefing took place at the Rayburn House Office Building and focused on the role of direct selling in entrepreneurial empowerment, as well as its impact on the growth of small businesses and flexible economic opportunities for the communities they support.
Elected officials, congressional staff members and industry stakeholders attended the gathering, and Plexus engaged with congressional leaders in a conversation about how its 400,000 brand ambassadors and customers contribute to local economies and communities across the nation, and emphasized the importance of advancing legislation that protects this independent business model and sound nutrition policies.
“At Plexus, we see every day how direct selling creates meaningful economic opportunity and flexibility for individuals and families,” said Kim Drabik, Plexus Vice President of Corporate Affairs. “Many of our Brand Ambassadors are veterans, working parents, caregivers and entrepreneurs who are building income and pursuing personal goals on their own terms. Bringing industry leaders and policymakers together on Capitol Hill creates an important opportunity to discuss policies that protect independent entrepreneurship, strengthen consumer confidence and support continued innovation and growth in the health and wellness sector.”
