As part of the Franchisee Leadership Summit, in partnership with the CFA, we have organized Capitol Hill visits, offering attendees a powerful opportunity to meet directly with lawmakers and advocate for the issues that matter most to franchisees. To ensure effective and personalized meetings, these visits are coordinated in advance and requires attendees to provide their home or business ZIP codes to match them with their respective congressional leaders. These visits are a key part of amplifying the voice of franchise owners at the national level.
