“There are more women than ever making a huge impact on the franchising industry. From suppliers to founders who are bringing their brands to market, there has been a huge shift. The conventions and meeting rooms are more balanced, getting closer and closer to 50/50 creating balance and inspiring others. Whether it’s home services or personal care – education or pet related, there are people who want to follow a female leader like you. Make your goals a reality through the franchising model.”
