As a new member or a first-time attendee, we know it's not easy being the new kid, but we’re here to help you make the most of your first CFA National Convention! 

The New Member Reception, sponsored by MNP, is the first networking event of the CFA National Convention where attendees can mingle and connect with peers!

This is the place to get to know some of your fellow franchise peers as well as your appointed Convention Ambassadors. For our returning guests, this is an opportunity to get to know the new faces of franchising, expand your connections, and especially welcome them to the CFA community, or the opportunity to reconnect with long-time friends.

We'll also be celebrating the CFA's Top Membership Recruiters:

• Larry Weinberg
• John DeHart
• Marietta Snetsinger
• Steve Collette
• Lisa Raffaele 
• Kirk Allen
• Nicolas Desjardins
• John Evans
• Jordan Druxerman
• Debi Sutin
• Joseph Adler
• Thomas Wong
• Frank Stanschus
• Cam Bawol
• Randy Mahil
• Sumit Chouhan
• Megha Karia

The Convention Photo Wall, sponsored by Reshift Media Inc. will be open during this period. Come and say "Cheese" with your some of your peers!
