The Crown Ambassador pin was created in 1977 as IBO achievements grew. Crown Ambassador qualification requires either:

• To qualify as a Crown Ambassador a qualified Platinum must have 20 legs (3 must be in market), each of which qualifies at the Silver Producer level for at least 6 months of the fiscal year.

or

• Attain Diamond qualification for 6 months of the fiscal year (6 legs must be in market), and generate at least 27 FAA credits during the fiscal year.

History: When the pin was first introduced, it required 20 legs each with a Direct Distributor in the dowline. At that time, a Direct Distributor was a distributor who had 3 consecutive months with 7,500 PV. Crown qualification only required 20 legs that acheived 25% for one month. The OTCA payment for Crown Ambassador at the time of introduction was $20,000.

In 1980, it was announced that Crown Ambassador would be raised to 25 legs, each with a Direct Distributor in the dowline. This change created an issue where some distributors achieved the 20 legs in 1980 but not the new 25 leg requirement and so missed out on getting Crown Ambassador status. The OTCA payment for Crown Ambassador in 1980 was increased to $50,000.

In 1982, it was announced that Crown Ambassador would be changed again to be 22 legs who qualify at the 25% level for 6 months in the fiscal year. The OTCA payment for Crown Ambassador in 1982 was $50,000.

In 1983, it was announced that Crown Ambassador would be changed again to be 20 legs who qualify at the 25% level for 6 months in the fiscal year.

In 2000, the OTCA payment for Crown Ambassador was $150,000. One year later it was increased to $168,000.

In 2002, it was announced that Crown Ambassador qualification could also be achieved by being qualified with 6 in-markets legs and 27 FAA points. A level of Founders Crown Ambassador was introduced in North America and in other countries, which required 20 Q12 legs or attaining Diamond qualification (6 in-market Q6 legs) and 30 FAA points. Previously, a Founders Crown Ambassador pin was introduced in Japan in 1998 and even before (in 1995), this qualification existed in Taiwan, where it was called Q12 Crown Ambassador.

All IBO's who qualify at the Crown Ambassador level with at least 20 FAA points are invited to participate in the Founders Council.

The FAA points system was introduced in 1991 by Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel. Up until 2002, these FAA points merely accounted for bonuses but no pin levels.
