A Message from the Chairman I love everything about this time of year! I love the fact that the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s are spent in gatherings with friends and families reflecting on those things we are grateful for and our focus truly is on making others happy.

For that reason, when we gather for Thanksgiving at our house, our team is the first one’s we express thanks for. Without them, none of this would be possible. 2014 Issue 4 | the SCORE 2 Sitting here today and reflecting on 2014, it is hard to believe that this time last year this organization was still known as the BWNFA and the discussions that led to the new FBS/FAC structure had not yet occurred.

As a result, your FAC representatives are doing some very important work inside that new structure. There are several key moments I will remember about this past year, but the most memorable for me will be our 2014 Summit. What better way for us to launch this new chapter than for Sally to kick off our 10th Summit the same week she was celebrating her 20th anniversary with the brand? Sally’s message about the history and growth of the brand was funny, and her points about the need to continue to evolve were on the mark. I believe 2015 will launch significant change in this industry in general and Buffalo Wild Wings
