The IFA Education team launched the Inaugural CFE Quarterly Connect last week with around 80 participants from within Certified Franchise Executive™ (CFE) program. Focused on virtual networking, the first CFE Quarterly Connect, provided in a live, virtual format, during which Sandie Curtis, VP, Education, and Brittney Cosby, Certification Programs Manager, provided updates on the CFE program refresh project, an overview of the TopClass Learning Management System (LMS), upcoming CFE credited events and CFE learning partner programs.

The Certified Franchise Executive™ program provides value to IFA members through targeted franchise educational offerings and member networking, no matter their tenure or position within the world of Franchising. Attendees of the CFE Quarterly Connect were given the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, and provide feedback from their personal journey within the CFE program.

Future CFE Quarterly Connect sessions will be held on the 3rd Tuesday of each quarter and will be an hour in length to provide time for CFE program updates, guest speakers, and networking break-out sessions. Adding to the CFE experience enhancements, the Inaugural Welcome Webinar for New CFE Candidates will launch this week, with an expected audience of 80+ CFE candidates who are just beginning their CFE journey.
