04 IFA's Diversity Institute - Stan Friedman
Stan returns for a second segment, this time to talk about his role with the IFA's Diversity Institute. Stan Friedman is a founding Board member of the Institute, where he currently serves as its First Vice-Chair, and he was also Chairman of the IFA’s Minorities in Franchising Committee in 2009, 2008 and 2007. The Diversity Institute is an outgrowth of work by IFA’s Minorities in Franchising Committee (MIF) and the IFA Educational Foundation to expand diversity education and communication within the IFA membership and to increase cooperation with other organizations working in the diversity arena. The Institute serves as the home for IFA and the Foundation’s diversity and minority programs – education, research, scholarships, and liaisons with other national organizations. The Institute provides information to assist IFA members in expanding their recruitment and multi-cultural marketing efforts at all levels –franchisees, employees, suppliers, and consumers. This is another topic that Jeff has asked Stan to come on the show regularly to discuss.
