| Application process | A prospective member is normally introduced by an existing member. The candidate then contacts CCC Alliance to arrange either an individual meeting with staff or attendance at an event as a guest, after which the organisation evaluates whether there is a mutual fit. Members are expected to share the group's respect for privacy and to participate actively. | Prospective members select one of three tiers and apply through the FOA website. Only the Innovator tier has a published admission route: invitation by an existing member, or a formal application with a reference check. FOA does not publish an application process, interview stage or decision timetable for the Family Office and On the Rise tiers. |
