Although we do not have an advertising council, we have a National Franchise Council consisting of members from various regions of the country. The members are nominated and elected by their peers and are consulted regarding new ideas for use of the Ad Fund, as well as departures from any existing programs. We may add or remove members and dissolve this council at any time, and we retain control over all decisions related to the Ad Fund.
