    A highlight from last week's #OpenforOpportunity stop in Detroit was meeting one of IFA’s newest Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) graduates, Melanie Mitchell, CFE ! The CFE program offered through the IFA is the gold standard for professional development in franchising and designed to educate and certify individuals within the franchising community to the highest standards. As Director of Program Management at Goldfish Swim School Franchising, LLC, Melanie has shown her expertise in franchising and her commitment to strengthening the business model. "IFA's commitment to providing industry-leading events, advocacy, education and growth opportunities to the franchise community is evident through their CFE program. Pursuing my CFE certification has opened me up to opportunities like the Franchise Customer Experience Conference (@FCXC), University of Denver’s The Liniger Center on Franchising, and has exponentially grown my franchising network as well as advanced my knowledge of the franchise model, franchise law, operational best practices, and technology innovations. The program's content is relevant, thought-provoking, and it's invigorating to learn from the best in the business and immediately be able to apply that knowledge at Goldfish Swim School.” Click the link below to learn more about the CFE program today: https://lnkd.in/eq4aX5Am #CFE #FranchiseLeaders #ProfessionalGrowth #IFA #Education Matthew Haller Melanie Mitchell, CFE

    Congratulations to 2025 CFE Graduate, ALEJANDRO COUTTIN, CFE! “I joined the franchising industry nearly 15 years ago. Initially, I served as a Franchisor, overseeing the operations of my own food retail brand before establishing Fractta Franchising, a Franchise Broker in Colombia connecting well-known brands with potential franchisees. Participating in the CFE program has significantly enriched my understanding of franchising, encompassing areas such as operations, law, and management. This comprehensive perspective extends beyond my hands-on franchise experience. Holding the Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) designation attests to my dedication to aiding Hispanic brands in entering the US market and assisting US brands in expanding their presence in Latin America.”
