In 2021 we had several very effective virtual meetings with out-of-town talent like Monty Walker, Ron West, and our own Steve Mariani of Diamond Financial. February is a rather short month and is typically bitter cold in Ohio. I thought that adding one virtual meeting (Covid or not) to our schedule would be a welcome opportunity to stay warm and hear from our friend Tom Spadea of Spadea Lignana, Franchise Attorneys out of Philadelphia PA. Some of you may remember Tom from a very successful event we hosted a few years ago when we were meeting at the Oak Barrel. Tom is an expert franchise attorney and represents both franchisees and franchisors. He is an expert in franchise agreements and franchise disclosure documents containing confusing “Item 19” disclosures. What I love about Tom is that he started as a business broker and as such has great respect for our industry.

And since we are on the subject of Franchises, we will also be having a virtual “Associate Member Spotlight” with Terese McGroarty of FranNet! FranNet is one of the largest and best known Franchise brokers in the country and Terese will be talking with us as to how she helps people find the right franchise opportunity for them.
