CHAPTER GUEST POLICY

Chapter members and sponsors may bring guests to chapter meetings subject to advance registration and approval.  The following general conditions apply with exceptions approved in advance by the chapter board of directors.  Contact Jackie Dunn to request guest approval:  [email protected].
 

  • Guest fees, if applicable, are payable by credit card in advance at the time of registration.  See ‘Cancellation’ for refund information.

  • Guests generally may not attend chapter meetings on a repeated basis.  A notable exception is that chapter members’ financial staff are invited to the Summer Professional Development Series at no charge as a value-add to members, and may attend more than one session.

  • Guests may not serve in a business development role for a firm that provides products or services to financial executives unless specifically approved in advance.

  • Not all chapter events are open to guests.  Refer to the registration section on meeting notices for guest information.

 
Special Provisions for Prospective Members
FEI members and chapter sponsors are encouraged to invite prospective members to ‘regular’ chapter meetings, the Summer Professional Development Series, and Special Events pursuant to the attendance guidelines for that event.  Prospective members may attend one ‘regular’ chapter meeting (complimentary) and one session of the Summer Professional Development Series (subject to the guest fee) to evaluate the benefits of FEI membership.  Non-member guest fees apply to other events.  Invitations should be limited to those who meet FEI’s membership criteria.
 

CPE CREDIT

You must be registered in the FEI system for each program for which you wish to receive CPE credit.  If there is any question as to whether or not you are registered for a specific program, please contact Jackie Dunn at [email protected] to confirm.
 
CPE credit is available online via FEI’s CPE Center to both FEI members and non-members.  You will need to log in to the CPE Center using the same login credentials associated with your event registration.  If you are not an FEI member and don't know your username or passcode, contact Jackie Dunn for assistance.
 

CANCELLATION

To cancel a registration, contact Jackie Dunn.  Forty-eight ‘business’ hours notice is requested for cancellation.  Cancellations within 48 ’business’ hours and no-shows may be subject to a cancellation fee equal to the guest fee.  Guest fees will be refunded upon request given that cancellation is received at least 48 ‘business’ hours prior to the event.  Absent payment in advance, members are responsible for their guests' late cancellation and no‑show.  We recognize that plans can change at the last minute; however, as good stewards of our chapter finances we ask your help in controlling expenses due to last-minute cancellations and no‑shows.
