Advocate for the future of franchising with policymakers and leaders. This meeting connects the franchising community with lawmakers to protect and advance the franchise business model. Learn the latest legislative and policy updates impacting franchising and then move to Capitol Hill, joining other members of the franchising community, to meet with your representatives in Congress to discuss these impacts. IFA will set up the meetings and prep and guide you beforehand.
