OK, I've read this sentence five times now, and this is what I read:

"Board members agree that chapters should be directed or controlled in
a top-down fashion as franchises"

I think there is a double negative here that is saying the opposite of
what you meant to say.

Should not the sentence be:
"I can't think of a single board member who *agrees* one bit with the
idea that chapters should be directed or controlled in a top-down
fashion as "franchises" or anything similar?

Or has my English played a trick on me?

Thanks,
