MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

Given that each New Member Program is limited to no more than 45 attendees, the Membership Committee is tasked to select the best possible candidates without regard to race, sex, religion or national origin.  Community involvement will be considered when prioritizing candidates who are otherwise relatively equal.  SIBF is committed to diversity within its membership.

Applicants must:

• Be active in, or have implementable plans for, international business
  
• Demonstrate leadership and achievement in their careers
  
• Be senior leaders within their respective organizations
  
  

"The New Member Program introduced me to high-level speakers and gave me access to an exceptional network of business advisors and peer executives.  The program was an excellent educational experience with a good balance of economic and political information, and included insightful speakers and important contacts in each of the cities we visited."
