FEI offers Individual and Corporate Membership. All applicants undergo a qualification review to ensure they meet membership eligibility requirements. Annual dues are required, and all Members must adhere to FEI's Code of Ethics.
Members are encouraged to actively engage with their local Chapters to build peer-to-peer relationships and expand their professional networks.
Choose the Individual Membership That Fits Your Journey
Your membership includes access to FEI’s national network and resources. If you are located within 75 miles of a Chapter, membership in that Chapter is required and enhances your experience with valuable local connections and programming. Chapter membership fees vary by location and are in addition to FEI membership dues.
To view rates and available Chapter options, complete our online application. All membership commitments are annual (or lifetime for Life Retired) and non-refundable.
