“We are honored and thrilled to welcome these seven new franchise associations to the AAFD community,” said Richard Stroiney, CEO of AAFD. “The ongoing expansion represents an exciting milestone for us as we continue to grow our membership and provide unparalleled value to its franchise members by offering expert advocacy, comprehensive educational resources, and a strong support network designed to help them thrive and build a collaborative relationship with their franchisor.”
