A Message From
Robert Purvin, Chairman and Founder of AAFD

From our inception (more than) 20 years ago, the AAFD has been focused on promoting the very best that franchising has to offer—not just fair franchising, but Total Quality Franchising!

The important work of the AAFD has been to define, identify and promote the best franchising practices, and to help our members protect their rights and investment by providing a strong and effective voice in support of franchisee interests.

The heart of the AAFD is the formation and support of effective franchisee associations as chapters of the AAFD. Our soul is embodied in the AAFD’s acclaimed Fair Franchising Standards and the AAFD Franchisee Bill of Rights.

Your membership helps us to be your effective voice for franchise empowerment. Join us, or renew your support.

We look forward to having you!

Rober L. Purvin
