2027 marks the 20th anniversary of the Coalition of Franchise Associations (CFA). CFA is celebrating it at the 2027 Franchisee Leadership Summit. This promises to be a milestone event for franchisee leaders from across the country. As we celebrate two decades of advancing franchisee advocacy and collaboration, attendees will gain valuable insights from industry experts, legal professionals and association leaders while reflecting on the accomplishments that have shaped the franchisee community. The relationships built and knowledge gained will continue to strengthen franchisee associations and enhance franchisee representation for years to come.
The recent 2025 Franchisee Leadership Summit in partnership with the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers (AAFD) in Washington, D.C. was an unreserved success. The value extended even beyond the crucial legal insights from the expert franchise attorneys who generously shared their wisdom with the group. Just as important was the unique opportunity it provided for attendees to engage with representatives from other franchise systems, allowing us to forge connections, share information and discuss best practices across a multitude of brands. The collective intelligence gathered is invaluable for strengthening franchisee representation nationwide.
