Membership Plans and Benefits
Membership of FIPHK brings you a host of privileges that will provide you sustained benefits over time. As a member, in addition to having access to FIPHK events, you will be entitled to preferential rates at events organized by other groups and associations. The Forum has also negotiated special deals for its members with service establishments in the retail and healthcare sector.
Our membership philosophy is simple. We want to give you the flexibility you desire in choosing the membership plan that best meets your needs. As professionals residing in Asia’s World City, we recognize how busy our work schedules can get, especially with frequent travel. As a consequence, we try to organize a majority of our events on weekends – this helps ensure maximum participation from our members, and their families and guests. You may choose from one of the following membership plans: - Option 1 Membership: Option 1 Membership gives you access to all events the Forum organizes under its own name or decides to co-host with other associations during the tenure of your membership.
- Option 2 Membership: Option 2 Membership entitles you to the complete Forum correspondence for the year including alerts and notices for upcoming meetings and events. Furthermore, it entitles you to preferential rates for each FIPHK event that you participate in.
- Couple Membership: If you and your spouse are professionals, you may benefit from opting for the Couple Membership Plan. The privileges covered in this plan are identical to the Option 1 Membership plan.
- Corporate Membership: Under this plan, a corporate entity may choose to sponsor membership of FIPHK to several employees. A minimum of 3 employees need to be sponsored in this case, with each sponsored member having the same rights and privileges as an Option 1 member.
- Trial Membership: If the activities of our Forum interest you (why should they not?) but you are still tentative about your intention to enroll as a member (why should you be?), you may choose to become a Trial Member. As a Trial Member, you are entitled to participate in one FIPHK event after payment of guest charges. Please click here to avail of Trial Membership.
