How to join Women of FIRE, Inc.:
During the first quarter (January to March) of every year, Women of FIRE accepts
applications for Affiliate Membership. During this time, you may complete an
application form and a representative from our Board of Directors will be in touch
with you within 7-10 business days upon receipt to arrange an interview at your
convenience. (preferably in person, phone interview exceptions may be made)
Before sending in an application, we ask that you carefully read this page,
and learn more ABOUT FIRE and FIRE PROJECTS to familiarize yourself with what we do.
Responsibilities of an Affiliate Woman of FIRE:
actively support FIRE events & foster the growth of the organization
join at least one FIRE committee

We are looking for new members who believe in enriching their lives and the lives of others,
including the less fortunate. We understand everyone works and has other commitments,
however, we seek members who want to commit to FIRE, and are willing and able to give
some of their time to the work we do as an organization.
Please note that at this time, while we may form partnerships with other organizations,
Affiliate FIRE members can not establish a separate state chapter
without the approval of FIRE’s Board of Directors.
FIRE also has several committees which work to plan events, do publicity, seek fundraising
opportunities, apply for grants, etc. Each member is required to serve on at least one committee.
In a nutshell, FIRE is an extraordinary organization looking for extraordinary women who
have some extra time to do ordinary things. We are a growing team and in seeking new members,
we hope to build a sisterhood with other women of the Diaspora and work collectively to make
a difference in our community, one step at a time.
We invite you to share our vision…
