At Sola Salons we are incredibly fortunate to have dedicated, smart and caring franchise owners. Central to our success is our franchise advisory board. Today we are thrilled to announce the election of three new members to the Sola Franchise Advisory Board (SFAB): David Aschheim, Kristin Kranias, and Shay Stevenson. Their fresh perspectives and innovative ideas will undoubtedly help drive our collective success. In addition, we are pleased to announce that David Raduziner, vice chairman of the board of our largest franchisee group and partner of private equity groups Geneva Glen Capital and Stonehenge Partners, has been selected as the new SFAB Co-Chair. David brings a wealth of experience to the board, and we’re excited to see how his leadership will continue to shape Sola's future. David will step into the role previously held by Patrick Elgin, whose exceptional leadership as Chair of the SFAB over the past few years has played a crucial role in navigating us through periods of growth and transformation. We are grateful for his contributions and look forward to his continued presence on the SFAB as well as the positive impact he will make serving on the board of FranChoice. As we welcome our new members, we also want to express our deep appreciation for the commitment and contributions of our outgoing members: Kristen Harris, Julie McNeal, and Michel (Mike) Meilleur. Their dedication has been invaluable, and we sincerely thank them for their service.
