Trial Membership - try us out for free!
We encourage you to engage with FEI and explore your member benefits during a trial membership so that you can understand the value the Association has to offer long–term, both at a National and Chapter level.
Previous members are not eligible for the free trial, but we’ve lowered our dues for existing members while expanding our programs, so our value proposition has never been better! And, if you’re in transition, we may be able to get your dues fully paid for by a third party.
If you have any questions about your trial membership or FEI’s benefits and services, please reach out to Rosanne at rbump@feitwincities.com or membership@financialexecutives.org or 877.359.1070.

FEI is thrilled to announce the launch of a new platform that will strengthen FEI and the finance and accounting profession. FEI Engage is a community and content hub designed to engage the next generation of finance leaders, and the only platform of its kind focused strictly on the finance and accounting community.
Why FEI Engage? Why Now?
As you are probably aware, there is a critical shortage of talent in the finance and accounting profession—with no end in sight. FEI Engage was created to connect students and early career professionals with business veterans for mentorship, learning, and development.

As the global economic landscape changes and becomes more interconnected, corporations are taking the opportunity to reimagine and adapt their business models to
align with societal priorities. With responsibilities to employees, customers, shareholders,
communities, and others, corporations are reframing their role in society, and finance
professionals are poised to help lead these efforts.
Stay ahead of a rapidly changing environment by engaging on topics such as ESG, DE&I,
technology, the shifting workforce, and corporate responsibility that will shape the finance
function for years to come.
