Family Enterprise USA membership requirements

Every criterion Family Enterprise USA publishes, with its source, the date it was verified and how confident we are in it, plus superseded figures, so you can see how the tests have moved.

Read a requirement as the organization's published floor, not as a promise. A revenue test may have alternative versions for different business types, chapters can set stricter local tests, and invitation-only bodies publish criteria that describe members rather than admit them.

How admission works

Application process
Prospective members choose one of the four published tiers on the membership page and join at that price; there is no published vetting, sponsorship or committee review. The organisation also solicits event sponsorships separately from membership.
Invitation required
No
Sponsor required
No
Selectivity
Not publicly disclosed: no acceptance criteria or rejection process is described; membership appears open at the published price points.
Membership term
Annual
Primary audience
Owners and executives of American family-owned businesses and multi-generational employers, plus advisers and firms that serve them
Typical member
Members are family-owned businesses "of all sizes, professions, and industries" and multi-generational employers, alongside associate members that are not themselves family businesses: typically advisory firms, banks and service providers. Higher tiers are aimed at families willing to travel to Washington and meet legislators directly.

Do you appear to meet them?

The qualification tool reads these rows against a profile you give in ranges and explains which criteria appear met, unclear or unmet. Check your profile
