The International Franchise Association’s Public Affairs Conference is open to all current IFA members. Why Attend?
IFA would like to thank our members who participated in our 12th Annual Public Affairs Conference. Your presence here in our nation's capital sent a powerful message to lawmakers that with the right pro-growth policies franchise businesses can create major jobs and help spur our nation's economic growth.
