What inspired you to join the CFE program?
As a member of the CFA, and especially as a member of the Board, I recognize the importance of this program and designation. I felt that it was important that not only I obtained it, but members of our support team did as well.
What does having your CFE Designation mean to you?
The CFE program shows a commitment, by us and the CFA, to the growth and development of franchising within Canada. It is the best development in education in franchising I’ve seen and I highly recommend everyone involved in franchising get it.
What has been the most challenging part of obtaining your designation?
The process was easy to navigate with so much help and support from the CFA team, the only challenge I found was selecting what courses I wanted to take for the education component – there were just so many excellent choices.
Do you have any advice for current CFE participants or those looking to get started?
Sign up now. Don’t wait. This is one of the best benefits in terms of education you can do for your system. Every franchise within Canada should have at least one person on their leadership team, if not more, with a CFE designation.
