This week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2025 IFA Advocacy Summit at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. It was an inspiring event, where franchisees and franchisors gathered to discuss important issues affecting our industry.
As a multi-unit franchisee, I was able to share my story and advocate for the communities we serve directly with both Senate and House representatives. Engaging with lawmakers about the challenges and successes we face in the franchise business was a truly empowering experience.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire IFA team for organizing such a powerful event. The careful planning and dedication of everyone involved ensured that our voices were heard loud and clear. Additionally, a special thank you to our group leaders whose leadership made this experience not only successful but also memorable.
Being part of the advocacy summit reaffirmed the importance of our work as franchisees and the impact we have on our communities.
