- The Executive Director will send your membership application on to the IEFG Steering Committee’s Members Subcommittee to review and decide on membership.
- The Members Subcommittee usually meets the 3rd week of every month. The Executive Director will be in touch with any questions the Subcommittee might have as well as their decision on your membership application.
- Members decide how little or much they would like to participate. If you are invited into the IEFG membership, please feel free to initiate ideas, to participate in our events, to propose webinars/meetings, to network, etc. But you are also welcome to remain quiet and use the IEFG as is best for you and your organization.

- After joining the IEFG, the Executive Director is able to assist you should you be in need of confidential peer support. She can connect you to appropriate peers and can set up a confidential sharing space for members to discuss a sensitive issue.
