Founding Membership

The Urgency of Founding Membership

Founding members receive Advisory Board governance representation, pricing advantages over later adopters, priority access to the AI compliance platform, Founding Member recognition, and direct access to the Commissioner during the policy formation period.

The CFGC is targeting a May 1, 2026 operational launch. Conferences and institutions that join during the founding period will have a direct voice in creating the bylaws, enforcement standards, and governance frameworks that define the organization.

Founding members write the rules. Later members live by them.
