MFN offers two levels of membership. Memberships are for one calendar year, January through December. Sign up now for a 2012 membership and receive member benefits through December 31, 2012.  ALL 2011 memberships have expired, so please renew ASAP.

Standard Membership: $50.00

The Standard MFN Membership entitles the member entry to all MFN Regular Meetings at the pre-registration member rate of $15 or $20 at-the-door. Non-members may pre-register for $25 or pay $30 at the door.

MFN holds 5 - 6 regular meetings per year, which feature an important topic on facilitation, a speaker, networking opportunities with colleagues and a light supper. We meet at the St. Paul Area Council of Churches in St. Paul, MN. A typical meeting follows this agenda:

5:30 p.m. Supper & Networking

6:00 p.m. Introductions & MFN News/Business

6:30 p.m. Program Topic on Facilitation & Guest Speaker

8:30 p.m. End of Program, Networking & Cleanup

As an additional benefit, Standard Members also have access to all MFN Virtual Meetings and other MFN events. MFN members may attend meetings of partner organizations at their member meeting fee. Partners include MN Council on Quality, MN ODNetwork, Project Management Institute, etc.

Virtual Membership: $25.00

The Virtual MFN Membership differs from the Standard Membership and entitles the member to join four virtual meetings (conference calls, webinars, etc.) per year. This type of membership is valuable to people who live outside the Twin Cities at a distance that prohibits them from attending Regular Meetings. Virtual Meetings occur about once per quarter. They feature a topic of interest on facilitation as presented by a respected expert in the field. Virtual Meetings last one hour 15 minutes, usually from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. Central Time in the USA on a weekday. Participation in virtual events is either by long distance conference call or in the case of a webinar over the web with a computer. Virtual Membership does NOT include entry to regular meetings at the Standard Member meeting rate.

This Membership Enrollment Period will end at 6:30 p.m., Thursday February 9, 2012 (which is the date of the next 2012 MFN live meeting) because Eventbrite limits the amount of time a registration period can be open. We will create a new enrollment period after February 9 for future membership registrations.
