A Broader Voice for the Field and Profession

The Florida Direct Sellers & Consumers Coalition was formally introduced during its first major conference and policy event on January 27–28 in Tallahassee, Florida.

The event brought together direct selling leaders, company executives, field professionals, policy advocates, and elected officials to discuss the future of the profession, consumer education, and the importance of protecting legitimate direct selling and network marketing businesses.

McGrath’s appointment adds another experienced field and industry voice to the Coalition’s board, particularly as regulatory, legislative, and public perception issues continue to shape the future of direct selling in the United States.

Gordon Hester, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Florida Direct Sellers & Consumers Coalition, said:

“Garrett McGrath brings a rare combination of field leadership, corporate experience, publishing insight, and industry advocacy to our board. He has spent decades working directly with the people who build this profession every day, while also understanding the broader business, legal, and public policy issues that impact direct selling. We are honored to welcome him to the Florida Direct Sellers & Consumers Coalition Board of Directors.”

Rep. Ryan Chamberlin, co-founder and board member of the Florida Direct Sellers & Consumers Coalition, and Member of the Florida House of Representatives, as well as a 30-year direct selling veteran, said:

“The direct selling profession needs thoughtful, experienced voices who can help bridge the gap between policymakers, companies, field leaders, and consumers. Garrett has lived this profession from multiple angles, as a field leader, executive, advocate, and publisher. His perspective will be a meaningful asset as we continue building awareness, education, and support for direct sellers in Florida and beyond.”
