PURPOSE

To positively impact, serve, educate, standardize, preserve, and unite network marketing associates and those who develop and create businesses within the network marketing community.

ABOUT

Early in 2004 a group of passionate individuals (Rod Cook, Cheryl Gonzalez, Marcie Cook) concerned about the future of the Network Marketing community, came together to form an association. The ANMP (formerly known as the Distributor Rights Association or DRA) focused on establishing standards for the protection of all groups within the Network Marketing community. It also centered efforts on educating both companies and participants of their responsibilities and rights.

The ANMP has organized to prevent among other things: harmful legislation on supplements and proposed business opportunity rules by the FTC. The association has also drafted publications on standards, and has continually provided education for Network Marketing professionals.

By 2009 the association started drawing the attention of many of the top leaders, trainers, and professionals within the Network Marketing community developing around a core belief: Strength Comes From Unity. In 2010 the name of the association become the Association of Network Marketing Professionals.

"When we commit to a vision to do something that has never been done before, there is no way to know how to get there. We simply have to build the bridge as we walk on it. Please join me and your colleagues in this effort."
    —Cheryl Gonzalez, President Emeritus

She writes, "If you’re only marketing, no matter how many people you meet, only certain people will see your message and want to check it out. But when you’re networking, you’re connecting from a personal standpoint and developing a network, including the people who won’t be in your business. Some people should continue doing what they’re doing, and that doesn’t mean they’re not part of your network." "Your network is the real value in this profession, and whoever has the largest network wins. I always want to come from a place of contribution: Who is your ideal client? How can I help you? You can build an incredible network this way, and not have to worry about prospecting and talking about an 'opportunity'."
