Senior staff members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the all-important regulatory agency charged with consumer protection and marketplace oversight, will be in attendance at the Direct Selling Association’s 2008 Legal Issues of the Day Seminar, being held October 23-24 in Alexandria, Va.

Lois Greisman, Associate Director of the Division of Marketing Practices at the FTC, and Lem Dowdy, Attorney, will be present at the seminar and will provide presentations to attendees on subjects including: the FTC’s role related to direct selling, its most recent Business Opportunity Rule, the Commission’s definition of a pyramid scheme, the “cooling-off” rule and more.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in an open dialogue with these representatives, encouraging understanding between our industry and this important government regulator.
