Are You in Atlanta? The ATLFA Wants You!

For those of you not familiar with our franchise group, The Atlanta Franchise Alliance is a networking group that I Chair in Atlanta. Our mission locally, is to follow the IFA's model of bringing franchising’s best practices and people together. We meet several times a year to network, learn, share fellowship, and exchange valuable nuggets that help us each individually and collectively, to strengthen the business model that is franchising. Whether you are a franchisor, a franchisee or a supplier, you are more than welcome to attend any of our events.

In 2008 our Alliance grew significantly and in 2009, we are going to get bigger and better. We will grow by bringing in more people to our networking events and providing them with everything that they came looking for and more. We will host networking events on the following dates, so mark your calendars: January 15; May 21 (also an IFA franchise political action committee fundraiser); August 20; and November 12. Locations for these meetings are TBD and will be posted on our Web site, at least two weeks in advance of each event (http://www.atlantafranchisealliance.com/).

Anyone interested in attending these meetings can find more information at our site. Don’t hesitate to email me (http://www.blogger.com/stan.friedman@retrotax.com) either, if you have questions or would like to be added to our mailing list.
