FAQ

  • Membership benefits begin upon purchase of the FDC membership and when dues payment have been processed. Membership dues are non-refundable and must be paid in U.S. currency.

    You can access all of your benefits from the moment you join. You will also receive a welcome email which will include a guide to member benefits.

  • All FDC memberships are for a required, 12-month membership commitment. If you would like to cancel your membership after the 12 month period, you may email info@femaledesigncouncil.org

  • The FDC allows a monthly payment plan. This is at a slightly higher rate to accommodate our increased processing fees for monthly payments. Monthly memberships agree to an annual commitment and will be automatically renewed each month for one year.

  • Membership benefits are exclusive to paid FDC members and are non-transferable. Benefits cannot be shared, including access to the private WhatsApp group or event attendance. Individual memberships apply only to the purchaser or the company on their behalf. This policy also applies to business/creative partners; companies with two lead partners must purchase individual memberships for each person.
