## Story

“We appreciate the growing awareness of our education program at the Titus Center and the support of our Advisory Board members,” commented Dr. John P. Hayes, CFE, founding chair of Titus Center for Franchising. “As a self-funded center, we rely on our Advisory Board to help us provide the resources for more than 60 students who are pursuing a Concentration in Franchising. Because of our board, we can provide scholarships, internships, mentoring, financial assistance and more for students who plan to pursue a career in franchising.”

Advisory Board membership is open to companies and franchise executives that want to help educate franchising’s future generation. The board meets twice annually on the PBA campus in West Palm Beach. The fall Advisory Board events are set for November 19-20, 2024.
