Elevate & Empower: Roundtable for Women in Franchising
FIRST EVENT: Thursday, September 30, 2021 | 2:00 – 3:30 PM ET
FREE FOR CFA MEMBERS
The franchising industry offers a unique set of challenges as well as enormous potential for women. To help you navigate these concerns, the CFA is now offering a series of roundtable events for women in franchising.
Our goal is to help create mutually beneficial, personal relationships, so you can gain insight into shared business challenges and form a strong networked community.
These events offer the opportunity for women in the franchise space to learn from each other and tackle pressing topics for women in business. These small, facilitated discussion groups will create a safe, private, and trust-filled environment in which to discuss a range of topics related to women in franchising, build relationships, and strengthen connections.
