Franchise Association recognises Past Chairs

The Franchise Association formally thanked its Past Chairmen for the time and effort they put into creating and growing the Association at a small ceremony at the recent conference held in the Bay of Islands. The current Chairman, David Foster, presented the Past Chairmen present with a commemorative lapel pin to mark their contribution.

The Franchise Association was formed in July 1996. Up until that time it had previously been a chapter of the Australian-based association which had gone under various names from ‘Franchisors Association of Australia’ to ‘Franchise Association of Australia and New Zealand.’

The Past Chairmen are:

• David McCulloch       (1996-1997)
• Stewart Germann      (1997-1999)
• Win Robinson            (1999-2001)
• Robert Fowler            (2001-2003)
• Simon Lord                (2003-2005)
• Mike Henderson         (2005-2006)
• Miles Agmen-Smith   (2006-2008)
• Estelle Logan             (2008-2011)

Prior to the creation of the Franchise Association of New Zealand,
the previous chairmen of New Zealand chapters were:

• Tony Beavan              (1987-1990)
• Fraser Heaven           (1990-1995)
• David McCulloch        (1995-1996)

Past Chairmen maintain an active interest in the future of the Association, meeting twice a year with the current Chairman.
