It is important to note that the DSWA encourages men within this profession to join the DSWA so that they can benefit from this resource and better understand how to support the women within their organization. Approximately 15% of the DSWA's current membership is comprised of men. |

Thank you for your desire to share these valuable tele-classes with their team. You are clearly a leader who wants to support your distributors as they grow their business. However, because tele-classes are a primary benefit of membership, we must ask that you not share this information with your team.
We would however, greatly appreciate it if you would tell your team about the DSWA. For ideas on how to do that, visit our Refer A Friend page. |

DSWA Success Circles are popping up all over the US and Canada. If you don’t see one listed in your city, why not consider helping to establish a Success Circle in your area? (Find a Success Circle or Chapter)
These local DSWA groups provide a comfortable, supportive and safe environment in which sharing and learning takes place.

The first Area Chapter was established in Vancouver (Langley) B.C. and is one of the DSWA's fastest growing Chapters, with additional Chapters about to be formed.
In addition, as a Canadian Members you can enjoy live training calls twice a week and have the opportunity to hear previously recorded calls that are archived in the Members Only Area of the web site. Calls can be played right from your own computer.
Members have access to helpful articles, tips, coaching principles, professional image content and so much more.

The Direct Selling Women's Alliance operates as a for-profit entity for the following reasons.
Operating as a for-profit entity enables us to engage top industry talent who can be fairly compensated for their valuable contribution of time and information, thereby enhancing the level of service we can offer our members. As a for-profit entity we have the capital needed to deliver state-of-the-art services that would not otherwise be in the budget.
In addition, many new and existing associations are moving toward a for-profit structure so that the long-term vision can remain its primary objective. With the founders at the helm, the Alliance avoids the common problems its non-profit counterparts are facing as a result of an ever-changing Board of Directors which can also change the culture and direction of the organization.
Finally, the association founders are wholeheartedly committed to the vision of DSWA, and have demonstrated their dedication by personally investing in the Alliance start-up and giving their full-time effort for more than 18 months prior to launch. Making a profit in exchange for delivering products and services that meet a very real need in our industry is not only fair, it is free enterprise at its very best. |

While the DSWA could probably make a great deal of money by signing up as an associate and offering such services to their members, it is considered a conflict of interest and in violation of the DSWA’s Code of Ethics. Neither the DSWA Corporation, nor the Founders are able to have a distributorship with any direct selling company. Nor will they accept funding from any individual that has close ties to a direct selling company.
The DSWA is committed to remaining a neutral, “bi-partisan” organization with no ties or obligation to any direct selling entity. This policy enables us to represent the industry fairly and equitably, without conflict of interest or show of favoritism.
In short, the high road is not always the path paved with gold, but it enables the DSWA Founders to sleep peacefully knowing they are building an organization with integrity and fairness to all participants in this great industry. |
