• For more than 50 years, the International Franchise Association (IFA) has been dedicated to promoting, enhancing, and protecting franchising through educational programs, public relations, and government relations.

• To date, more than 1,100 franchises have joined IFA, and IFA offers multiple forms of support to these franchises.

• For example, the IFA holds events on a regular basis, and franchisers and franchisees from all over the United States, including leading franchising executives, attend the events.

• For those interested in franchising, these events offer some of the best networking opportunities out there.

• In addition, the IFA regularly publishes high-quality materials related to the industry, keeping its members informed.

• It lets members stay up to date on legislative issues, and, by working together, IFA members can have a real effect on lawmaking.
