Virgil Knedlik, an H&R Block franchise owner in Tukwila, has been elected to the H&R Block Franchise Leadership Council (FLC).<\/p>\n
The FLC is a representative group of small business owners from throughout the country who serve as liaisons between the more than 1,000 H&R Block franchisees and corporate leadership.<\/p>\n
As a member of the council serving a three-year term, Knedlik helps foster constructive, open and two-way communications between the franchisee community and the management of H&R Block. FLC members are asked to contribute to the growth and development of their business, employees and community.<\/p>\n
“We have a robust Franchise Leadership Council that works with us on a year-round basis to review strategic options and business initiatives,” said Karen Orosco, senior vice president of U.S. retail for H&R Block. “H&R Block FLC members represent the highest level of franchisee leadership. I am honored to welcome Virgil Knedlk to his new role with the Franchise Leadership Council.”<\/p>\n
Knedlik traveled to H&R Block’s world headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., in May for the first quarterly on-site meeting. He is scheduled to participate in a summer listening tour where he’ll meet fellow franchisee and share ideas that can grow business. He’ll also meet other franchisees at the national convention this fall.<\/p>\n
