CHAPTERS + COUNCILS + COMMUNITIES = NETWORKING GROUPS
Implementation Summary
1
Execute Networking Groups Agreement
Training cannot begin without a finalized agreement.
- Establishes pricing structure
- Allows agreement sharing within the chapter
- Enables IFMA to list the networking group as an official training provider on ifma.org
2
Identify the Credential Strategy
- Select targeted credential(s)
- Offer informational webinars to drive buy-in
- Poll members to assess interest and demand
- Identify or secure an IQI (if instructor-led delivery is planned)
3
Schedule and Structure Training
Define:
- Credential being offered
- Audience (members only or inclusive of non-members)
- Delivery model (in-person, virtual, or hybrid)
- Hybrid starts with in-person and ends with virtual
- IQI contracting
- Location and logistics (if applicable)
- Registration link creation and LMS setup
4
Host the Training
The networking group manages participant registration and payment collection.
- Payment from participants should be collected by the chapter before the class begins
- If chapter has failed to receive payment from a participant (but the chapter has paid IFMA for the licenses), chapter has the option of requesting IFMA to lock a participant’s account until the payment is received
- Roster submitted to IFMA Account Manager
- Account Manager issues invoice for credential licenses

Post-Delivery Support & Quality Assurance
For instructor-led formats:
- Account Manager conducts follow-up with component and IQI
