Join Us

Membership Eligibility:   Membership is limited to Ford Motor Company retirees with leadership experience at LL5 (SG11) or higher level in the Company.  FREE was originally created for Product Development executives but is now open to all functions and skill teams within the Company.

Dues:  There is a $35 annual membership fee to cover administrative expenses, memorials for deceased members, donations to select organizations, and subsidies for certain events.  Dues are payable annual upon invoice notification.

Meetings:   Meeting activities are arranged on a volunteer basis by our members.  Therefore, active participation is welcome for organizing interesting programs each year.  Suggestions are always welcome.

Meetings require a reservation via this website; or by email or phone call on an exception basis several days before the meeting to assure a known attendance for meeting commitments.  Membership continues to grow and arranging meetings is a significant task.  Occasionally, meeting facilities will accommodate only a limited number, in which case attendance will be controlled by a first-to-reserve process.  Of course, courtesy requires a cancellation call if a reservation cannot be honored.

Security:   Material and remarks by Ford Motor Company speakers are not to be shared with anyone who is not a FREE member.  Please review the entire Confidentiality Policy (click here) before beginning the membership process.
