In summer '49, College Pro started a podcast to showcase the "x" element of our current franchisees that make them successful. In a limited-time series called Torch Given, in summer '50, our CEO Tony Valle is sitting down to talk with the founders, past CEOs, and trusted partners of this resilient brand called College Pro.

April Broome joined College Pro looking for it to jumpstart her into running her own accounting business. Little did she know that she would stay and be part of College Pro for the next 25 years. She worked across all avenues of the company, from accounting to IT to CEO. 

Some of April's biggest contributions came in the creation of the skill development program at College Pro. She is another tenant in the foundation of learning and teaching that has made College Pro what it is today. April is now the Vice-President of Franchising with California Closets continuing her work in professional development and building up the next generation of entrepreneurs.
