It’s my privilege to share with you the remarkable progress we’ve made in shaping our future and championing our shared interests.
Our commitment to AAHOA’s federal, state, and local priorities, especially the crusade for fair franchising, continues to be the cornerstone of our advocacy efforts. Together, we’re driving transformative change, while ensuring fairness, transparency, and prosperity for all members. The strides we’ve taken resonate far beyond our industry, showcasing the power of unity and determination.
I’m also elated to highlight the strong bonds we’ve nurtured with India, as exemplified by the distinguished visit from Prime Minister Modi. This momentous occasion not only underscores our global reach but also solidifies our role as leaders, bridging cultures and fostering connections that enrich our collective journey.
Looking ahead, our Fall National Advocacy Conference (FNAC) beckons. This pivotal event offers a unique platform for our leaders to converge in the heart of Washington, D.C., to engage directly with lawmakers, shape policies, and amplify our voices. It’s an opportunity to be at the forefront of change – a chance to advocate for our industry with a united front.
We’re cultivating alliances, fostering connections, and strengthening our resolve so, when challenges arise, we’re fortified by a network that amplifies our influence.
I want to emphasize the paramount importance of our AAHOA PAC donations. Your contributions fuel our advocacy engine, empowering us to make a resounding impact on policy decisions that shape our industry’s future. Your support ensures we aren’t just passive observers but active architects of change.
As the saying goes, “You’re either at the table or on the menu,” and the truth in this adage resonates deeply in our pursuit. The time to build relationships is not when we need something – it’s when we don’t. We’re cultivating alliances, fostering connections, and strengthening our resolve so, when challenges arise, we’re fortified by a network that amplifies our influence.
I implore every one of you to be an integral part of our advocacy journey. Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or a newcomer, your involvement matters. Engage with us, contribute your insights, and be a driving force that shapes the trajectory of our industry.
In closing, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each member of our esteemed association. Your dedication, passion, and unwavering support are the driving forces that propel us forward. Together, let us continue to make history by advocating for a brighter future and forging a legacy that will endure for generations to come.
