Many benefits for HomeVestors franchisees who join IFA
By Scott Bowling

As a HomeVestors franchisee, you can join the world's largest franchise organization, free! The International Franchise Association (IFA), based in Washington, DC, invites the franchisees of its member companies (including HomeVestors of America) to join its ranks. HVA encourages you to do so!

The IFA is often referred to as the “Voice of Franchising.” When thousands of franchisee and franchisors work together, it can have a powerful influence on law makers and government, as well as small business.  This effort can help protect franchising from unnecessary regulation. In addition, the work that the IFA does enhances the value of IFA-member businesses.

         As a member of the IFA, your benefits include: access to online programs, chat groups, networking meetings and educational programs like the Franchise Business Network meetings, IFA’s annual convention and Legal Symposium. Other benefits include free electronic subscriptions to Franchising World Online, Franchise News Briefs, IFA Insider, Franchise-E News Briefs and Franchise Action Network News.

Interested in joining? Contact Paul Rocchio, Director, Development & Member Services at (202) 662-0790 or email him at procchio@franchise.org to request a system-wide membership enrollment kit. By becoming a member of the IFA, your voice can make a difference.
