“These associations represent the heart of what the AAFD is all about—empowering franchisees to come together, build strong organizations, and work collaboratively with their franchisors,” said Richard Stroiney, Chief Executive and Trustee of the AAFD. “We are honored to support these groups in their efforts to achieve fairness, transparency, and sustainable success in franchising.”
AAFD Chief Development Officer Amy Mancuso added: “It’s inspiring to see more and more franchise systems recognizing the value of collective action. Each new group strengthens our voice and expands our ability to advocate for meaningful change in the franchising community.”
The AAFD continues to support the formation of franchisee associations across industries and encourages franchisees who are interested in organizing to reach out and learn more.
