CFA COMMITTEES

Volunteers are key to the excellence of the CFA’s work, and many individuals volunteer their time, energy, and expertise in a number of ways to help us fulfill our mission and vision.

CFA committees typically represent a cross-section of CFA members, and are responsible for strengthening the programming and services provided by the CFA. These committees allow CFA members to provide valuable input, feedback, and perspectives that help the CFA’s programs and services succeed and meet the needs of the franchise community.
