IFA NAMES MICHAEL LAYMAN VICE PRESIDENT OF REGULATORY AFFAIRS

The International Franchise Association is the world's oldest and largest organization representing franchising worldwide. IFA members include franchise companies in over 300 different business format categories, individual franchisees and companies that support the industry in marketing, law and business development.

In January IFA announced the addition of Michael Layman, a seasoned government relations and public policy professional as Vice President of Regulatory Affairs.

“We are thrilled that Michael Layman will officially join IFA to support our ongoing efforts to aggressively fight back against the escalating workforce and labor-related issues that are threatening the existence of the franchise model,” said IFA President & CEO Steve Caldeira, CFE. “Michael is highly-respected on Capitol Hill and he brings a wealth of government, corporate and trade association experience to the IFA that will be integral in our advocacy efforts to protect, promote and enhance franchising.”

Prior to joining the IFA on a permanent basis, Layman worked for IFA in an Of Counsel capacity on workforce policy issues since September 2014. Formerly, Layman was a senior manager with Littler’s Workplace Policy Institute. He also worked at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) as Manager of Employment and Labor Policy from January 2007 to August 2013.
