Voting rights for women and franchisees…the new ‘inclusive’ FCA board
While the FCA Board remains stable, the importance of inclusiveness and a consistent level of representation on all fronts is reflected in the appointment of Tony Melhem (Franchise Forum representative, Gloria Jean’s Coffees), Rod Wakefield (The Coffee Club) and Diana Williams (Women in Franchising Forum representative, Fernwood Women’s Health Clubs).
The FCA Board also ratified several new initiatives including giving the Franchise Forum representative full voting rights. In another move, FCA Board member and Victorian Chapter President Phil Blain (Franchise Alliance) was voted to be the Chair of the Service Provider Forum. This newly formed forum will ensure there is high level representation for franchise sector suppliers. With a strong background in education, The Coffee Club CEO Rod Wakefield was also voted in as the Chair of the Education Committee.
George Yammouni (Bathroom Werx) was also re-elected as Deputy Chair and Finance Director for another term.
