Ada-tudes | Amway

By: Steve Lieberman

For most children, their parents are their biggest heroes. They look up to us, they model our behavior, and they are curious as to what we do at work all day long.

So, when it’s Take Your Child to Work Day, Amway really goes all-out to show off our one-of-a-kind company to the children of our workers.

For one thing, we choose to celebrate in the middle of the summer, so more kids can participate. For another, we plan lots of fun activities, so they’re not just sitting around all day long watching Mom at a meeting or Dad on a production line.

And this year, we’re taking it one step further. That’s because Take Your Child to Work Day, on August 9, coincides with a two-day visit from NFL and Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner, who’s our Nutrilite® spokesperson.

So, the children of Amway employees here in Ada, Michigan, will not only get a new understanding of where Mom or Dad works, some of them will also get to meet an honest-to-goodness football superstar!

Kurt’s participating in an employee meeting with Amway Chairman Steve Van Andel, where employees (and their kids!) will have an opportunity to ask him questions and find out more about the life of a pro football player.

Kurt will also be touring the Amway Fitness Center, as well as our manufacturing and distribution areas, meeting informally with employees and their visiting kids.

Finally, as part of Kurt’s visit , he will be attending a football skills clinic with kids from the local Boys and Girls Club, of which Amway is a National Sponsor.

Those who have met Kurt can tell you honestly: This guy’s a true hero, on and off the field.  He is exactly the kind of guy we admire, and we are excited to have him visit with us, especially on a day like Take Your Child to Work Day.
