Membership Application Process

Buy Filipino Network (BFN) is a curated community built on trust, cultural pride, and a shared commitment to uplifting Filipino‑American professionals and businesses. To preserve the integrity and heart of our network, membership is by invitation or referral only.

1. Member Referral Submission

A current BFN member begins the process by sending an email referral for a potential member. The referral includes a brief description of why the individual or business would be a valuable addition to the BFN Family.

2. Membership Committee Review

Within one week of receiving the referral, the Membership Committee reviews the submission and contacts the potential member to request their résumé or professional profile.

3. Committee Evaluation & Unanimous Vote

After the résumé is received, the Membership Committee convenes to evaluate the candidate’s alignment with BFN’s mission, values, and community standards. A 100% approval vote from all committee members is required for acceptance. This vote is completed within two weeks.

4. Final Decision Notification

Once a decision is reached, the CEO of Buy Filipino Network contacts the potential member within one week to share the outcome and next steps.
