The Coalition of Franchisee Associations Inc. (CFA) brings together some of the largest and most reputable independent franchisee associations to form a ground-breaking organization with a mission "to leverage the collective strengths of franchisee associations for the benefit of the franchisee community." Founded in 2007 and comprised of franchisee association leaders dedicated to the development and growth of their own organizations, the CFA provides a forum for its members to share best practices, knowledge and resources for the benefit of the entire franchisee population. By focusing its efforts on government affairs at the state and federal levels, franchisee education and training, executive leadership development and collective buying opportunities, the CFA cultivates the similar goals of evolving franchisee associations to create strength and unity among all franchisees.The CFA, whose membership is exclusively franchisee associations, is the first of its kind, offering limitless opportunities for association leaders to share ideas on improvement, planning and development. The CFA is where the ideas coalesce and are built upon, as franchisee leaders join together as a unified group.
