Record-breaking Littleton, Colo., Maaco operator Brian Greenley testified before a Congressional committee on behalf of policies that help small business. His advocacy of continued funding for SBA loan programs and other tools small businesses needed to drive economic growth drew favorable responses from House Small Business Committee Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez (D-New York) and committee member Mike Coffman (R-Aurora).
Greenley’s invitation to participate in the “Heroes of Small Business” hearing in late May followed his being honored as Franchisee of the Year during the IFA’s Public Affairs Conference last September. At that time, he and other franchise industry leaders had visited congressional offices to discuss issues important to the future of franchising. Full post.
