May 03, 2023 // FranchiseMarketingSolutions.com // DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen Founder and Chief Stewarding Officer (CSO) Doug Dwyer is joining the committee of IFA’s nonprofit VetFran program, as of May 1, 2023.

VetFran is a program that educates veterans about how their military experiences and skills set them up to be great franchise owners when they return to civilian life. Nearly 15% of franchisees in the U.S. are veterans.

This is particularly meaningful to Doug because his father, Don Dwyer Sr., was the founder of VetFran in 1991.

After Don’s death, VetFran became inactive for some years. Then Don’s daughter, Dina Dwyer-Owens, stepped in. Dina was on the IFA…
