“Being able to receive my CFE has been a goal of mine, and I am excited,” Foehringer said. “The training has been very helpful in my job, and it has expanded my knowledge of the franchising world. “
Foehringer completed the comprehensive course in franchise management from the Institute of Certified Franchise Executives, which is the academic branch of the IFA’s Educational Foundation.
