| 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 enquire through the FOX website, after which FOX opens a membership conversation and assesses the applicant against its own criteria. Non-members may first attend open workshops, public webcasts and virtual showcases. Council membership is a separate decision that requires a commitment to active participation and an additional fee. |
