Structure

EWI is a membership association organized into chapters located in major cities in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Representatives can serve on chapter boards, committees and community projects. Leadership opportunities extend to service on the corporate board and corporate committees. The volunteer corporate board is elected by the membership and serves one-year terms. The corporate office staff, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, provides membership, marketing and public relations services as well as administrative support to the entire organization.

FAQ's

How do I join?
Fill out the membership referral form. You will be contacted regarding your interest in our chapter. Membership is by invitation from our chapter membership.

Can an individual join?
No. Memberships are held by the firm, who then designates up to three key individuals to be the representatives for the firm and to be the active participants in the EWI organization.

What if there is not a chapter in my area, can my firm still join?
If there is not a chapter in your area, your firm could still be a participant in EWI through a class of membership called member-at-large. Although more limited in the possibilities for networking than in a traditional chapter, a member-at-large would still be able to attend other chapters' meetings and attend the regional and international seminars and conferences that are offered. If you are interested in this class of membership, please follow the link above for Membership Referral and fill out the online referral form.
