A note from us:

EFAT is not a service provider; it thrives on the generosity of active volunteers who serve on the board, committees, and working groups—dedicating their time and energy to the community—as well as on member participation in planning and executing initiatives and projects. EFAT sees itself as a grassroots community that enables individuals to get involved and contribute to the growth of our profession—while also growing and enriching themselves in the process.

As we work on a voluntary basis, we are unable to accommodate the growing number of requests for services, particularly from non-members. We kindly ask that you thoroughly review the information on our website and the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) before contacting us with any remaining questions. We also ask for your understanding that we do not offer internships or provide recommendations for training programs.
