Membership
Information
FEI is designed for financial
officers of public and private companies worldwide. In general,
membership is designed for the senior-level professional corporate
financial officer - typically the CFO, controller and treasurer. In
medium to large-sized companies, the assistant controller or
assistant treasurer can also become active in FEI.
After you join
the Financial Executives International (FEI) organization, you are
invited and encouraged to join the Arizona Chapter of FEI. Over 100
Senior Financial Executives are members of the Arizona Chapter.
Local Chapter membership gives you an excellent opportunity to meet
and develop relationships with area CFOs and business leaders.
The Chapter
conducts monthly dinner meetings and social events from September
through May. Dinner meetings are held in Central Phoenix
(7th Street and Thomas) on the second Tuesday of the
month. A topical program offering one hour of CPE credit precedes
each dinner meeting. Dinner is accompanied by a
presentation from our invited speaker. Previous speakers have
included the retired Chairman of FASB, prominent CEOs and business
leaders, representatives from NASDAQ and the NYSE, as well as
prominent politicians presenting on current business and economic
issues.
Annual dues for
the 2007-08 year are $285 and cover both Arizona Chapter dues and
the dinner costs for the monthly meetings. You must become a
member of our National FEI Organization to be eligible for
membership in the Arizona Chapter.
If you have
questions regarding Arizona Chapter membership, please contact Mike Tully, Membership Chair, or e-mail feiaz-admin@cox.net. We look forward to having you join us at
future meetings.
