Forbes Councils conditions d'adhésion

Chaque critère Forbes Councils publie, avec sa source, la date de vérification et le niveau de fiabilité que nous lui accordons, ainsi que les chiffres remplacés, afin que vous puissiez suivre l'évolution des critères.

Lisez une condition d'admission comme le plancher publié par l'organisation, non comme une garantie. Un critère de chiffre d'affaires peut comporter des variantes pour différents types d'activité, les sections locales peuvent fixer des critères locaux plus stricts, et les organismes sur invitation publient des critères qui décrivent leurs membres plutôt qu'ils ne les admettent.

Fonctionnement des admissions

Application process

Candidates apply online to a specific council. A selection committee reviews the application against the published criteria and, if approved, issues a membership invitation. Payment is taken after acceptance, for a one-year or two-year term. Applications are made in an individual's own name, not a company's, even where an employer pays the fee.

Invitation required

Non

Sponsor required

Non

Selectivity

Not publicly disclosed. Forbes Councils states that applications are vetted by a selection committee and that acceptance is at the company's sole discretion, but publishes no acceptance rate.

Membership term

One-year or two-year terms, renewing automatically for equal periods

Primary audience

Owners, founders, partners and senior executives who want a bylined publishing platform on Forbes.com alongside a vetted online peer network

Membre type

Members are owners, founders, C-level executives, partners and vice presidents who lead a region or division, drawn from the industry each council covers. The financial test is set at the company level rather than personal wealth: US$500,000 or US$1,000,000 in annual revenue or capital raised, depending on the council.
