Donna Carter is from Little Rock, Arkansas, and has experience in property and casualty insurance, banking and marketing, and sales. Her last job was in marketing for a major leasing company in Little Rock, where she worked for 18 years. There, Donna created finance programs for people opening franchises across the country. She traveled and trained the staff at the franchisor headquarters so franchisors would know which documents were needed for the loans and understand the finance programs that were created for their franchisees. Donna says, “I don’t know who benefited the most from my work, the franchisees or me. I loved meeting so many people all across the U.S. and enjoyed helping them open their businesses.”
