(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 20, 2009 ) Vicki Rolens, Managing Director of FACT, says: “Our association was created a quarter-century ago by a small group of Midwesterners who didn't have a whole lot in common, except ... they knew each other, and they felt as if many practical aspects of their lives were not entirely in their own hands.”
The founding members discovered that by forming into a group of individuals -- people who weren't bound by politics, religion, age or employment -- they could make an almost immediate difference in how they live. “As a cohesive group,” says Rolens, “these pioneers in consumerism were able to gain far more buying power than any individual could achieve alone.”
FACT was formed under the not-for-profit corporation laws of the District of Columbia in 1984. It has a governing board of directors, comprised of four persons, who are elected annually by a vote of regular members. These directors must meet criteria adopted by the corporation in order to assure the continuation of FACT's selfless intents and purposes, maintain a high level of professionalism at the director level, and prevent any special-interest groups or self-serving individuals from assuming control of FACT for their own gain.
In the last twenty-five years of service to the American consumer, FACT has grown from a few members into an influential national corporation. Today, the association represents 1,000,000+ Americans in all 50 states ... maintaining offices in Edwardsville, Illinois, and offering more than 30 benefits which can be truly life-altering.
JL Haber, Vice President of Programming at Multi Media Productions, added, “Federation of American Consumers and Travelers and their solutions is an exciting company with a unique mission. We are excited to have them as a guest on our program.”
