The IFA has a new President and CEO, but Matt Haller is hardly a stranger to any of us that have known him in his Government Relations roles at IFA, for the past many years.  Who better asked the IFA Board, to assume the role vacated last year by Robert Cresanti.  The answer to that speaks for itself.  As President & CEO of the IFA, Matt will be responsible for the overall leadership and management of the association, working  closely with the Board, committees and staff, to further develop and implement IFA’s strategic vision, policies and programs.  All this, to advance the  interests and protect and promote the organization’s reputation as the preeminent representative of franchising, across the country and around the world.
