What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the Annual Teachers' Meeting Fee is $450. This fee is paid annually, specifically upon registration for the Annual Meeting.
This means that Gokhale Method franchisees are required to pay this fee if they choose to attend the Annual Meeting. The meeting is likely a key opportunity for continuing education and staying updated on the Gokhale System, as Item 7.2 states that franchisees must attend additional courses, seminars and other training programs to maintain their approval to teach the Approved Formats. While attendance may not be explicitly mandatory to maintain the franchise, it is strongly encouraged for professional development and to remain in good standing with Gokhale Method.
Prospective franchisees should consider this fee as part of their ongoing operational costs, especially if they plan to actively participate in the Gokhale Method community and stay current with teaching methodologies. It would be prudent to inquire about the benefits of attending the Annual Meeting and the potential impact of non-attendance on their franchise.
