SUMMER 2015

• FEA's formal Focus Quadrant was released to help the general public better understand the scope of work the Foundation is involved with. View the updated Quadrant. Also, expansion efforts were initiated to create the Canadian and Asian Chapters of the Foundation. While all Chapters will support each other as much as possible, from a financial point of view each National FEA Chapter runs independently, i.e. funding is to mostly benefit the country of origin.
