Speaking of the CFA and the benefits we derive as a member organization (actually a founding member organization) reminds me that it’s not too early to begin planning to attend the CFA Day Forum in Washington DC, March 24 & 25.  The CFA Day Forum is a great opportunity for you to get to the nation’s capital and work on your own behalf speaking with Congressmen about the issues that most concern you and other franchise owners across the country.  At last year’s forum, we aggressively advocated for passage of the Tax Extender bills referenced above.  The two-day event will be held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in DC and will include informative legislative workshops, a Capital Hill Luncheon with current Members of Congress as well as a Welcome Reception, Hill Visits with Members of Congress, a Capital Hill Closing Reception and much more.  To register or learn more, visit the CFA Forum Day website here.
