Attention FEI Dallas Members! Please review and update your work/contact information and confirm your headshot by October 31 for the 2025-26 Membership Directory.

The Dallas Chapter publishes a hard-copy membership directory which is distributed to all chapter members in good standing to help connect with your FEI Colleagues and Chapter Sponsors. Each member has a personal listing showing name, company, job title, preferred address, phone number, email address, LinkedIn address, and a headshot. Information for the listing is downloaded from the FEI member database.

Work & Contact Information | Review and update by October 31, 2025

Log in at the FEI website and click your name on the top right to review and update your profile information. Changes to work and contact information will be reflected in both the Chapter’s printed directory and at the online member directory. Profiles may be updated at any time; however, updates by October 31 are ensured to be included in this year’s printed member directory.

Headshots | New headshots are due by October 31, 2025

Dallas members are strongly encouraged to keep your headshot current to facilitate connecting with your FEI colleagues. If you are sending a new headshot, please be sure it is a high-resolution image for print (300 dpi). Web images are usually low-resolution and not suitable for a print publication. Email your new headshot to Sharla Hibberd at sharla.hibberd@feidallas.org by October 31.

If you do not submit a new headshot, we will carry forward the headshot from the most recent directory, if you had one. 

Note – We do not download headshots from the FEI online directory for use in the printed directory, nor do we upload new headshots to the online directory.

Exclusively for FEI Dallas Members – If you had a new headshot taken at the September 8 meeting, the photographer will provide your headshot to Dallas staff at no cost to you for use in the printed directory. (See the Professional Headshots section below for how to review your headshot.) If you wish to display your new headshot in the member directory, please advise Sharla Hibberd at sharla.hibberd@feidallas.org by October 31.
