DSA CEO Dave Grimaldi’s Message to ANMP Attendees

DSA CEO Dave Grimaldi Calls for Unity

In a powerful message from the United States Capitol, Dave Grimaldi, CEO of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), spoke to the Association of Network Marketing Professionals (ANMP) at their 2025 Annual Awards Gala in Dallas. Though he couldn’t attend in person, Grimaldi’s words energized the crowd.

Regulatory Threats to Network Marketing

Grimaldi highlighted the challenges faced by the direct selling profession due to pending legislation and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rulemaking. These changes could limit how network marketing businesses operate and share opportunities.

“Preserving the business opportunity is vital,” Grimaldi said, stressing the importance of free speech in protecting the industry. He urged professionals to unite against these threats.
