The EFA's goal has always been to raise the professional status of its members and to make freelancing more dynamic and rewarding.
Since 1970, it has done so by steadily expanding member programs and services, many designed to polish and develop professional skills and boost income. Among these are
- client outreach
- a job listing subscription service
- networking with peers online, at meetings, and at social events
- educational programs designed especially for freelancers
- a bimonthly newsletter and other publications
- comprehensive health insurance (where available)
- a searchable, online membership directory
- regional chapters and liaisons
