Notes:

Sponsored by Emerald Walter Bass, Fred Hansen and his wife Bernice started to work with Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel in 1950 in the Nutrilite business. In 1958 Fred Hansen worked together with DeVos, Van Andel, Jere Dutt, Joe Victor, Walter Bass and Eleanor Tietsma to found the American Way Association (AWA), which later became Amway.

Until his death in 1968, Fred played a vital role in shaping the Association that continues to exist today as the Independent Business Owners Association International.

Fred Hansen is a member of the IBOAI Presidents Cabinet[2]

When Fred passed away by a heart attack in 1968, the Diamond business transferred to Bernice. About this time her daughter Susan and Skip Ross met in a seminar, in California. Skip and Susan Ross now manage the Hansen business.

She went Double Diamond in 1970, Triple Diamond in 1974, and then Crown the following year.

The year was 1950, and my husband and I were shown the Nutrilite business by Rich DeVos. I felt from the beginning that if Rich and Jay Van Andel could do this, we could do it too. "That was the launching of a global business. Bernice had an accounting background and her husband, who had been a barber, had started another business that had failed. They launched into the Nutrilite business in earnest, and their efforts were quickly rewarded." It became very clear to us that building the business was the best investment of their time that people could make.” Sound like a dream business? “Personal freedom with financial options is a dream of a lifetime,” Bernice says. “This business has me very happy. This is the most wonderful way to help people fulfill their personal goals."

For information on the Hansen downline, which is probably the largest in Amway, see the article on JaRi.
