Meeting Mayor Mark Mallory in Cincinnati

I’m really proud to have had the opportunity to participate in an IFA Minority Fran initiative in Cincinnati on Thursday, May 1, 2008. More than 200 qualified participants attended this day-long educational program about franchise ownership that was sponsored and hosted by the IFA, Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, US Bank, Coca-Cola, and a host of public and private sector sponsors. I wore two hats at this event, participating as moderator and speaking on behalf of IFA, in my capacity of Chairman of the Minorities in Franchising Committee and First Vice Chair of the IFA Diversity Institute, but also as a participating franchisor, seeking franchisees for RetroTax,™ my new concept and company.

Good things have already come from this event and I anticipate that many more will. My personal thanks to IFA Director of Diversity and good friend Miriam Brewer, for pulling this program together. With more than ten years of participation in these events, I believe that this was one of the very best ever. More on this, as it develops…
