A message from the IFA Chairman

I'd like to invite you to attend the IFA Public Affairs Conference, September 9-12 in Washington, DC. Members of Congress need to know how important franchising is to our nation’s economy - and it’s up to you to tell them.

This event is so important to our industry that there are no registration fees to attend. As leaders of the franchise industry it is our responsibility to promote, protect and enhance the future of our industry.

After you register, IFA will arrange appointments for you with your members of Congress, and give you all the tools you need to be an effective advocate and conduct successful visits with your legislators.

We need to cultivate our relationships with Members of Congress to make sure we have strong Congressional allies that will represent our interests on issues like tax reform, health care, and labor policy.

Join me, and hundreds of other franchise leaders, in our Nation’s Capitol this September.

Jon Luther, Dunkin' Brands, Inc., Chairman
