Pathways to Ownership: Exploring Franchising as a Vehicle for Growth and Legacy

01/30/2026
Virtual Event
Franchise ownership offers more than a business — it’s a path to potential wealth creation, legacy building, and impact for generations to come. This interactive webinar, led by Ashli Nelson, Head of U.S. Strategic Franchising, Sourcing, and Recruitment at McDonald’s, offers a transparent look at the ownership journey — from initial exploration to the realities of day-to-day operations. Joining Ashli is Kerri Harper-Howie, a franchisee and former attorney, philanthropist, and author of The Family Secret, who will share her personal story, lessons learned, and how ownership has shaped her family’s legacy. Together, they’ll offer guidance, insights, and practical steps to help you assess if franchising could be the next chapter in your success story.
