In 2019, I had the honor of joining the International Franchise Association’s Women’s Franchise Committee. We launched a podcast to highlight the journeys and stories of women leaders in franchising who have made an impact on the industry, communities and people they serve.

I’m so proud of the stories we’ve been able to share and the people with whom I’ve been able to connect through this organization and this initiative. If you’d like to learn more about the WFC, please click here.

If it had a star next to it, I had the honor of interviewing the guest.
