I am so impressed with the profound impact IFA members make in their local communities. Franchises serve by giving back, and there’s no better place to highlight their charitable efforts than our Franchising Gives Back program. I am looking forward to announcing this year’s Franchising Gives Back Award winners during the Franchise Action Network Annual Meeting, coming up soon on September 9! We have great finalists that have made a difference in their communities being showcased, and also great franchisors, franchisees and suppliers coming from all over the nation to celebrate.

If you attend, not only will you be able to network with attendees and the award winners, but you will also be a part of a humbling and inspiring experience that you can take back to your business and ideas to implement in your brand’s charitable giving programs. Maybe you can be a winner next year!

I hope to see you on September 9, 2019 from 7:00-9:00 pm at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC as we celebrate all the positive change that franchising has contributed to. Purchase your ticket for the dinner here, and sign up for the FAN Annual Meeting here. Help us celebrate Franchising Gives Back!
