WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 25 – John and Rosemary Christensen, Critter Control of Savannah, Georgia were honored by the International Franchise Association as Franchisee of the Year. The award is given to IFA-member company franchisees to honor them for their outstanding performance and the contributions they have made to enhance the growth and development of the Nation's franchising industry.

The IFA Franchisee of the Year Awards were presented during the IFA's Eighth Annual Franchise
Appreciation Day celebration in the nation's capital. As the association's primary grassroots lobbying effort, Franchise Appreciation Day offers meetings between franchisees and franchise systems and congressional lawmakers and staff to discuss key issues facing the franchise industry, such as small-business health plans, immigration reform, wages and tax burdens.

Staying in touch with Congress is a priority for the franchising community, which continues to expand. According to an IFA Educational Foundation study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, there are more than 760,000 U.S. franchised businesses that provide jobs for more than 18 million Americans and contribute more than $1.53 trillion to the U.S. economy.

The IFA, whose membership includes nearly 10,000 franchisees, is the leading source of due-diligence information for prospective franchise investors. Through its Web site, www.franchise.org franchisees can take advantage of a wide variety of informational and educational items and benefit from tips on best practices to foster the most productive and mutually-beneficial franchise relationships for both franchisors and franchisees.
