including operations, risk management, personnel management, financial
planning, marketing and legal matters.

2008’s Issue 2 of the FLAME has been RELEASED!
The
second issue of the FLAME, which all franchisees and
friends of the NFA should have a copy of by now, is continuing
the year-long celebration of the NFA’s 20th anniversary
celebration.
In this beautiful, 64-page issue, the NFA recognizes and honors
the many member franchisees who have given selflessly to others
through philanthropic work in their restaurants, their communities
and beyond. All will enjoy the stories of the many charitable
spirits this association is lucky to have as members.
Issue 2 offers a pictorial journey down memory lane by way of
its FLAME cover mosaic feature. Every FLAME
cover from the magazine’s 18-year history is shown, from
the early days to the most recent cover. The FLAME cover
mosaic is highly representative of the NFA’s evolution as
a relevant and meaningful franchisee association. The question
is: how many FLAME covers do YOU remember?
FLAME 2 continues the four-part series on women franchisees
in the NFA. This time, Beth Westfall and Jacqueline Ford are highlighted.
As always, you can be sure that the FLAME is also brining
you the tried-and-true, business-focused features containing content
that will help your business thrive. Articles on asset protection,
labor and employment concerns related to philanthropic deeds in
the workplace and NFA Health+ appear in the second edition of
the FLAME to keep you informed on the issues that matter
to your business. Issue 2 also features two useful government
relations-related articles that are sure to be both interesting
and informative to read.
Your NFA strives to offer you the most relevant information in
the FLAME, and your association is certain the second
issue of the year is one of the most relevant and memorable FLAME
magazines yet. Issue 3 of the FLAME for 2008
is currently in production and is set for release soon. Keep your
eyes on your mailboxes for a copy. You won’t want to miss
it!
If you have any questions about the upcoming FLAME,
or if you have material for consideration in the FLAME,
please contact Erin Murrin at (678) 797-5160.
