Membership Categories

Academic

Applicants for Academic membership must be a practicing educator in the field of accounting, business or finance and hold academic rank of a Dean, Assistant Dean, Professor, Associate Professor or Assistant Professor.

Entrepreneur

After having been an Executive member in continuous good standing for at least 2 years, a member is eligible to transfer into the Entrepreneur membership category if the member serves in an entrepreneurial role within a start-up or consulting company, or other such self-employment that would not qualify for membership under the current published criteria.

Members transferring to this category are eligible to remain in the category at the specified reduced dues rate for a maximum of three (3) years. At that time, Entrepreneur members have the option of transferring to any other membership category for which they qualify.

Government / Military

This category is open to all senior-level financial executives who serve in a finance, accounting, budget, or treasury position for a local, state, or federal government agency, department, bureau or office. Applicants for this category should have direct responsibility over budgetary expenditures of at least $25 million.

In-transition

Applicants, or membership category transfers, for in-transition membership must be unemployed. This category is open to applicants who have held a qualifying position (refer to membership qualifications) during the past five (5) years. All applications must be accompanied by a current resume and proof of former employment (business card, personalized company letterhead or pay-stub with confidential information removed). Members may remain in the category for two (2) consecutive years at the specified reduced dues rate.

Retired and Life Retired

A member is eligible to transfer into the categories of Retired/Life Retired Membership if the member is in good standing and fully retired from active business and/or from the field of education. Any Executive or Academic member may elect to purchase a Life Retired Membership upon full retirement. Retired/Life Retired membership records cannot reflect business contact information, and all business-related information will be removed. Any member considering Retired/Life Retired membership should contact FEI's Member Services Department office to determine eligibility.
