ATLFA Meets This Week: If In Atlanta, Don’t Miss It

I would like to personally invite all of the RetroFacts readers to the Atlanta Franchise Alliance’s May meeting, 5-7 p.m. tomorrow (Thursday, May 21, 2009) at the Paper Mill Grill, 305 Village Parkway, in Marietta, GA.

The meeting is a great networking event and an opportunity to connect with your franchise colleagues from Atlanta.

To understand the value of the ATLFA, one must first understand our growth, as throughout the last year it has been two-pronged. First and foremost, we continue seeing many first-timers at our networking events, which is always a great indicator of growth. Secondly, we are growing internally, with the addition of four new members of our board in 2009. They are: Nick Powills, CEO, No Limit Media Consulting, Rich Greenstein, Partner, DLA, Piper, Greg Cory, CEO, eMaximation and David Asarnow, President, CEO at CLIX Portrait Studios.

This week, without a doubt, the economy and its impact on our businesses and ability to obtain credit and financing for new and existing franchisees will be top-of-mind. That remains the hot topic everywhere.

Our topical meetings set the tone for great interactions. Anyone with an interest in keeping up to date on what’s going on around them in franchising should clear the calendar for tomorrow night. Whether you are a franchisee, franchisor or a supplier, this is where to connect with all of those on the cutting edge of the franchise business model locally.
