Concepcion witnesses changing of the guard at PFA

PRESIDENTIAL Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Jose Ma. “Joey” Concepcion 3rd welcomed the new leadership of the Philippine Franchise Association (PFA), saying it comes at a critical time for the PFA and its membership as micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) now are adjusting to a postpandemic business environment.

At ceremonies held on November 24 at the Manila Polo Club, outgoing PFA chairman Richard Sanz turned over the chairmanship of the organization to Sherill Quintana. Also sworn in was incoming PFA president Sam Christopher Lim, who replaces Quintana.

Lim is the son of PFA Chairman Emeritus Dr. Samie Lim.

“This passing of the baton is meaningful in many ways. We are seeing a father passing on to his son the responsibility of leading an important organization, and he must now lead it in a business environment changed by the pandemic. I am sure

Samie Lim mentored his son very well and prepared him for the challenges

ahead. The PFA is in good hands,” Concepcion said.
