The Future of DCFR: Investing in Our Community
It has been a landmark year for our organization: our membership increased by 30%, we launched a DCFR members directory, and our volunteer base has grown significantly. We have put on some amazing events, from our new Members-Only Salons to our deep dives into core topics such as “Cybersecurity’s Role in the Age of Geopolitical Turmoil, Hybrid Warfare, and Agentic AI.” As we move forward with advancing our programming in light of this ever-changing world, we are committed to expanding the world-class events you expect.
To support this growth, increasing operating costs, and the long-term sustainability of our mission, we will be adjusting our membership dues effective July 1, 2026.
Since pivoting to our current membership tiers five years ago, we’ve seen incredible growth and a more flexible experience for our community. With the success of this model firmly established, we are adjusting our dues for the first time to ensure we can sustain this momentum.
Your Loyalty Opportunity:
We value our long-standing members. We invite you to renew your membership at our current rates anytime between now and June 30th. This will lock in your current pricing for the upcoming year. You can renew online or reach out to Casey Moher at [email protected] to help with your renewal.
