IFA Announces Franchisee of the Year Award Winners
The International Franchise Association (IFA) recognized “outstanding franchise establishment owner-operators,” at its recent Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. 97 individuals from across all industries and communities around the country were selected as Franchisee of the Year Award winners.
“Franchisee of the Year recipients represent the best in franchising,” said Matthew Haller, president and CEO of the IFA. “This is the highest honor IFA awards to individual franchisees, and these local business owners exemplify the power of franchising and its countless positive contributions to communities around the world.”
The annual award recognizes franchise owners from IFA member brands whose outstanding performance and contributions help protect, enhance, and promote the franchise business model.
