Women's Franchise Network of Seattle

 

Welcome!

The Women’s Franchise Network of Seattle assembles female franchise professionals together to address issues, share ideas and offer solutions related to the local Seattle market. WFN Seattle also aims to develop forums to mentor women new to franchising and provide opportunities for career growth and enhancement. Overall, the goal of the WFN is to unite all women involved in franchising by providing a valuable resource and support network, starting with the local market.

 

About WFN Seattle

The International Franchise Association’s Women's Franchise Committee (WFC), formed in 1996, is dedicated to inspiring and encouraging women in franchising by creating a network of business professionals dedicated to strengthening the success of women in the industry.  The WFC has created a number of programs and resources in order to achieve this goal, ranging from "how to" guides and conferences to local networking chapters.

The Women’s Franchise Network is a network of local chapters that are designed to develop relationships with women franchising professionals. The first chapter was launched in May, 2002 in Denver and now includes the following markets: Chicago, Denver, San Diego, the Twin Cities, Southern California, New York/New Jersey, Washington, DC/Baltimore, Seattle, Toronto, Miami, Connecticut, Richmond, and Dallas. 

Mission

The mission of the Women's Franchise Committee is to promote women's participation in franchising by providing national and international networking opportunities for the exchange of ideas, resources, and experiences.

Vision

The Women's Franchise Committee is committed to providing resources for women seeking career growth opportunities in franchising.
