Q: Is the GSFOA an association or a union?

What we are The Great Schools Franchise Owners Association (GSFOA) is an independent association of The Goddard School® franchisees organized for a joint purpose with a desire for positive collaboration with our franchisor and to help franchisees realize the full potential of their businesses. Joining the GSFOA is like joining a trade association or a local Chamber of Commerce where members collaborate to help each other in business and legislative pursuits that affect members. What we are not The GSFOA is not a union, external group, or a third-party representative of owners. More specifically, because GSFOA members are not employees of our franchisor, the GSFOA is not a union as defined by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
