'Franchise Ownership as Business Career' Topic at Career Network Meeting, November 20
Nov. 6, 2013: Frank Dunne, owner and principal for FranNet of Hudson Valley and an expert in the field of business and franchising, will discuss the topic of franchise ownership as a career option at the next meeting of the Bronxville Career Network on Wednesday, November 20, at 7:30 pm at The Reformed Church of Bronxville.
Key discussion points at the meeting will be:
• Franchising extends well beyond burgers and doughnuts, with 3,100 concepts across 300 industries, and represents a viable opportunity for those looking for control over their futures with opportunities for independence
• Franchising is a regulated industry that offers safety and security to owners and offers many affordable opportunities and financing options
• Franchise ownership can be a viable career or investment opportunity for executives-in-transition, veterans, baby boomer parents/college-graduated children tandems, semi-retirees, and others.
As a franchise placement specialist and franchisee himself, Frank Dunne works individually with career-transitioners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and other opportunity-seekers who are considering business ownership as a career alternative.
Dunne advises clients on how to search for and evaluate franchises and format business opportunities via a deep-dive research process. Clients are expertly matched with the businesses that are best suited for their skill set and experience and that meet their professional and personal goals. Dunne has made presentations at outplacement firms, the nonprofit association SCORE, the New York Small Business Development Center, libraries, networking groups, and career forums.
Founded four years ago, the 300-member Bronxville Career Network is a volunteer-operated group offering networking, career and job search information, and support to job seekers, career changers, and employed people interested in sharing career information or expertise.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
