Membership Criteria

The GENSFN Network is an open network.

In addition all GENSFN Members can belong to their sister networks (eg. A GENSFN agent can apply to join PFI or Five Star), or any other outside independent network.

Successful applicants to the GENSFN Network will be granted agency status of their home territory and may book and pay for any adjoining territory (if that territory is available.)

However if the agent does not comply to the network rules and regulations, or if they do not attend the AGM on an expected regular basis, or they do not reciprocate business with their partners then they can lose their agency status.
