    In 2021 AFHE renegotiated its Association Membership arrangement with FFI.  AFHE wanted the relationship to continue, but found the FFI Association Membership dues based on our full membership to be prohibitively expensive.  AFHE’s Board also did not want the FFI Association Membership dues to be a burden on the entire organization’s finances when only about half of AFHE’s members would be taking advantage of the arrangement.  AFHE’s renegotiated arrangement with FFI will have us fit within their 26-50 member pricing tier, rather than the 51-100 tier.  AFHE’s Board approved an internal arrangement where the AFHE Members who do want to be included in the dual membership in FFI will pay an additional $175 of dues to AFHE.  This will result in the participating AFHE Members receiving dual membership for much less than what the FFI dues alone would cost, and much, much less than what the dues would be to belong to both organizations without the arrangement, while the non-participating AFHE members will not be bearing as much (if any) of the cost of the FFI Association Membership.

    This additional fee to help offset the large expense for AFHE is still a fraction of the $975 individual membership fee to FFI directly. You can view the FFI membership here: https://www.ffi.org/membership/

    The Attorneys for Family Held Enterprises is an independent, non-profit association of attorneys, practicing in the areas of corporate, litigation, taxation, and trusts and estates who provide multi-disciplinary legal counsel and advice to publicly and privately-held enterprises, their owner-managers, and family members.
