OUR GOAL

100 Founding Professionals, then our launch.

Our goal is to welcome at least 100 professionals in every field through the interest form. When we reach that milestone, we will host a launch information event to introduce the Center, its programs, and the ways to get involved. Everyone who registers will be invited.

Founding Professional Membership recognizes early participation in the Franklin HUB community. It does not confer ownership, equity, voting rights, management authority, or organizational governance rights.
