Please join us for Franchise Appreciation Day, IFA’s annual public affairs conference, scheduled for September 15-16 at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC.   This is your chance to meet with your congressional representatives on Capitol Hill about important issues facing the industry.  Members of Congress need to know our views on such issues as Health Care Reform, Card Check Legislation and Immigration Reform.

To help you prepare, IFA staff and other government relations experts will review these key issues in detail during the meeting to help you conduct effective meetings with your Members of Congress.  

There is no registration fee to participate in FAD and we will make your Congressional appointments for you.  For more information and to register, visit www.franchise.org/fad.aspx   

More than 500 franchisors, franchisees and suppliers participated in FAD last year to tell franchising’s story.  Don’t you want to be included so that policymakers are aware of what’s important to your business in this critical election year?  We’ll see you in September.
