WELCOME!
We are excited that you have decided to join AFETT, the leading network for professional women in Trinidad & Tobago.
Application Process
The membership application process begins with the submission of the online application form. If you meet the Association's membership criteria, you will be contacted by our Secretariat to inform you of this and receive an invoice for the payment of $650 TT which is payable in full. This represents your annual membership fee of $500 TT and a non-refundable administrative fee of $150. If for any reason your application process is not completed, the annual membership fee of $500 TT shall be refunded.
Upon confirmation of your membership, the annual membership fee of $500 TT is payable on January 1 of each year.
As a provisional member, you are invited to attend a minimum of 2 meetings within a four-month period. Attendance at the Association's monthly meetings, committee meetings and fundraising events will be considered for this purpose.
Note that failure to complete this aspect of the process within the period identified will result in a cancellation of your application request.
Once your two-meeting attendance has been recorded, you will be contacted by a member of the Membership Committee for a one-on-one discussion about yourself, your reasons for wanting to join AFETT and what you feel you can contribute to the Association. Your application will then be passed to the Board for final approval.
Please note: The Board reserves the right to deny membership.
Commitment
We take this opportunity to highlight our expectations upon becoming a member.
All members are required to participate on one [1] of AFETT's standing committees. As such, you will be expected to be keenly involved in the association’s activities.

Monthly meetings are generally held on the third Thursday of each month and regular attendance is expected of all members. AFETT thrives on the input of all members, thus your excitement and energy would provide an ample base for fueling your contribution to the Association.
