Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the VetFran program at the International Franchise Association and IFA Foundation.
HRES 1139 is a ceremonial resolution commemorating the 30th anniversary of the VetFran program, established in 1991 to assist veterans transitioning to franchise business ownership. It recognizes VetFran's role in connecting veterans with franchisors through discounts, resources, and a dedicated database of opportunities. The resolution highlights VetFran's mission to leverage veterans' leadership skills and military experience within the franchise model, which allows individuals to "go into business for themselves, but not by themselves." As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but formally honors the program's work.
