I t was wonderful seeing so many of you at the 39th
  Forum on Franchising in Miami, Florida, which I
am pleased to say was 841 attendees strong. I would
like to thank program co-chairs Chris Bussert and
David Oppenheim for their hard work and dedication
on producing the Annual Meeting, which, along with
our speakers, made the Annual Meeting the success
that it was. I know that the Forum's 201 7 program
co-chairs, Ron Coleman and Dawn Newton look
forward to beating that attendance number at the
40th Forum on Franchising, which will be held in
Palm Desert, California at the JW Marriott on October
18-20, 2017.

   For those of you who were not present at the
Annual Meeting, you missed the launch of the
Forum on Franchising's Law Library. The Law Library
currently contains content for the last five years from
The Franchise Law Journal, The Franchise Lawyer and
Forum workshops at the Annual Meeting. You will
find using the Law Library as easy as conducting a
Google®  search. We will continue to add content to
the Law Library so that we ultimately will have the
past ten years of Forum content on the Law Library.
You may access the Law Library through this link:
http://wwwamericanbar.org /directories/forum_
on_franchising.html. You may also access the Law
Library through the Forum's evergreen app, available
through your app store. Once again, I would like
to thank Ron Coleman, the Forum's Webmaster, for
his leadership in bringing this project to fruition,
and Jared Miller and Zac LeVasseur of the law firm
of Parker Hudson for taking the lead on indexing
articles.
   In addition to the launch of the Law Library, as
is our tradition, we held the Forum's annual award


ceremony. This year's award winners are:

   -   The Edward Wood  (Jack) Dunham Rising
       Scholar Award: Emily I. Bridges, Smith
       Leatherwood, Keep Off My (Virtual) Lawn:
       Encroachment in the Age of the Internet, to
       be published in the Franchise Law Journal in
       early 2017;
   -   The Future Leader Award: Antonia K. Sholtz,
       Cheng Cohen;
   -   The Chair's Award for Substantial Written
                               Continued on page 14
