Membership at the AAFD grows again

The American Association of Franchisees and Dealers (AAFD) reported that its ranks have grown in recent months.

According to the AAFD, six new franchisee associations have joined since the start of the year.

The new associations joining include Enviro-Master and Mighty Dog Roofing, both of which have taken proactive steps to unite their franchisees and advocate for their shared interests, the AAFD said.

New member growth

“We are honored to welcome these new associations into the AAFD community,” said Richard Stroiney, CEO of the AAFD. “Their commitment to collaboration and advocacy reflects the very spirit of our organization, and we look forward to supporting their growth and success in the years ahead.”

In January, the AAFD announced that seven new franchise associations had joined its ranks.

The AAFD says it is dedicated to “Total Quality Franchising,” which includes promoting fair and equitable franchising and dealer practices by empowering effective independent franchise associations. The six new chapters add several hundred Franchisee members to the AAFD, bringing the total number of brands the AAFD represents close to 70 managed associations.

Aafd mission and services

The AAFD is a national non-profit trade association representing the rights and interests of franchisees and independent dealers throughout the United States. The AAFD was formed by Declaration of Trust in May of 1992 with the original mission of “Bringing Fairness to Franchising.”

In addition to legislative and legal direction, the AAFD provides education programs.

In recent weeks, the AAFD launched a new platform designed to help keep members informed.
