The FEC attempts to support its member communities by encouraging skill-building, sharing, and travel between the communities, as well as offering support to communities as a whole.
Each member community and Community-in-Dialogue can chooses one or two official delegates to communicate with the FEC and participate in the official decision-making process. We make most of our decisions by consensus of all delegates. (In event of a complete breakdown of compromise, a decision can be made by a majority of full member communities based on population.) Any member of any FEC community may contact the delegates for any reason; talk to your delegate to facilitate this, or contact the Secretary if your community is left delegate-less.
Some specific projects of the FEC include:
Labor Exchange (LEX)
Mutual Aid Scholarship Fund (MASF)
Preservation of Equity Accessible for Community Health (PEACH)
Community Loan Funds
