Full participation in FIDL is required to be considered for the program. Barring an emergency, every member of the FIDL CORE 101 Program is required to attend all training sessions in their entirety. This means program participants are expected to be present and prepared during the two weeks in October 2024. Participants must be present from the start of the first session until the conclusion of the final meeting. You should not schedule a flight to leave the Institute before 5:00 PM (CST) on the final day. If you cannot commit to attending for the entirety of the Institute, you should not apply to join the class.

Non-completion of 2-week Institute requires re-applying to continue with the CORE 101 program. Required training sessions include the full two weeks of Core 101, and five additional three-day meetings (typically Thursday through Saturday) approximately every six months thereafter. The October program will be held from October 5, 2024, through October 19, 2024.

Participants also commit to promptly responding to requests for information from FIDL staff facilitating program administration. Receiving information in a timely manner is critical.
