Arbid unanimously re-elected President of franchise association

The General Assembly of the Lebanese Franchise Association (LFA), elected a new administrative committee with Charles Arbid winning presidency unanimously for the second time running. The other elected members include Madiha Arslan vice president, Yahya Qas’a general secretary, Charles Tahoumi, finance secretary and Aline Kamakian, Rabi’ Kousa, Antoni Maalouf, Issam Rahal, Michel Firnaini, Christine Sfeir, Kareem Miknas and Mark Kalasi as members at large. In his speech, Arbid thanked all the members for their trust and contributions to the Association’s successes and achievements at the national and economic levels. He pointed out that LFA’s role in boosting and protecting the vital interests of the franchise sector depends on the collaboration of male and female members of various economic groupings in order to achieve a true and effective partnership within the private sector and with the public sector. This, Arbid added, will enable Lebanon to overcome the present critical period. (As Safir, 24 April 2015)
