What makes a Founding Fellow different
Not just first. Permanently first.
The Founding Fellow designation is not a marketing label. It is a permanent institutional record — inscribed in the UNIONE™ founding documents and carried on every Fellow's profile and designation permanently.
Permanent Designation Marker
Every Founding Fellow's profile carries the "Founding Fellow" marker permanently — in the UNIONE™ directory, on certificates, and in the institutional record. This is not a cohort badge. It is a permanent designation modifier.

Rate locked forever
UNBOUNDED Speaking Priority
Founding Fellows receive first consideration for speaking opportunities at all future UNBOUNDED events globally. When we build the speaker roster for each event, Founding Fellows are reviewed first.
Speaker priority
Rules Consultation Access
When UNIONE™ revises its Rules — as it will do periodically — Founding Fellows are the primary consultation group. Your practice shapes the institution's rules, not the other way around.
