event calendar association’s management company (NAMG) has provided a solid foundation to continually build our organization. As the years went by, more and more franchises bought into the idea of working together to form a vibrant association that looks to grow and protect our individual enterprises. I take a great deal of pride in being part of what the association has become and seeing how our association has flourished under the leadership of Andy Gross and current chairman Wray Hutchinson. My Hopes For FBS: We must continually build a meaningful relationship with corporate and be part of the decision-making process. Having franchisee representation on a number of committees is a solid step in the right direction. We must work to have a voice in all phases of the development of BWW. We can only be as strong as the individual franchisees want us to be, so stand up, look to participate and do your part to support our Buffalo Wild Wings® franchise association.
