Governance of the bfa
The British Franchise Association is a membership organisation which is governed by a board of directors and supported by a small number of committees. This helps to ensure that the management team at head office are able to provide the best support and representation for members in line with their needs and views.
The Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors is made up of 11 Full Member franchisors; 1 Associate Member franchisor; 3 Affiliate Member (at least one being a legal representative); two franchisees; and the bfa Director General.
All franchisor and Affiliate member positions on the Board are through nomination and election by the membership, with the two franchisee members being appointed to the Board. The Director General is the only Executive Director of the Board and leads the teams of staff that operate the Association on a daily basis.
