Brig Sorber, director of licensing and member of the board of directors of Lansing-based TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, was recently inducted into the Minorities in Franchising committee of the International Franchise Association (IFA).

The mission of the IFA’s Minorities in Franchising committee is to increase the number and success of minorities in franchising, including franchisors, franchisees, suppliers and employees. The committee provides educational information and programs to IFA members and prospective minority franchisees. It also participates in outreach activities to increase the awareness of franchising within minority communities.

The IFA is a membership organization of franchisors, franchisees and suppliers that aims to build and maintain a favorable economic and regulatory climate for franchising. It is the only association serving as the voice for franchising in the United States and is a major participant in the international franchise arena.

Started as an after-school endeavor for two high school boys, the Michigan-based TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchise system has grown to become the fifth-largest moving company in the United States with 118 locations in 25 states and over 720 trucks on the road.
