Leadership can sometimes feel like a lonely journey but the Elevate Female Operator Group proves that it doesn’t have to be. This annual gathering brings together Independent Chick-fil-A Operators from across the country to connect, encourage, and share wisdom.
Ficus Education was proud to be part of this year’s event as a sponsor, celebrating the power of women leading in business and shaping the future of their teams.
A Gathering Designed for Growth and Encouragement
The Female Operator Group creates a unique space for Operators to share experiences, challenges, and strategies with peers who understand the demands of running a restaurant and leading a team.
From conversations on leadership to practical advice on staffing, attendees leave encouraged and better equipped to thrive both in business and in life.
How Ficus Education Partnered in the Event
At this year’s event, Ficus Education had the privilege of:
-
Sponsoring a dinner presentation focused on Access: Care in Action.
-
Sharing student success stories that highlight how Operators are making education possible for their teams.
-
Offering resources and conversations for Operators considering education benefits in 2026 and beyond.
Our goal wasn’t just to present a program; it was to listen and connect.
Carrying the Momentum Back to the Restaurant
As Operators return to their restaurants, they carry with them the encouragement of this community and the tools to keep building strong, values-driven teams.
Ficus Education remains committed to walking alongside Operators in that journey, providing education pathways that help attract, retain, and grow great people.
Leading Together, Building the Future
The Elevate Female Operator Group is more than an event. It’s a movement of leaders uplifting one another and shaping the future of Chick-fil-A restaurants.
We are honored to support this work and inspired by the Operators who lead with courage, vision, and care.
