Joining the Polyamory-Friendly Professionals Directory

What qualifications do I need to have in order to be listed as a “Polyamory-Friendly Professional?”

At the very least, it is required that you believe that polyamory is a valid lifestyle and that you are welcoming towards polyamorous people. It is also required that you be educated in some way about the needs of the polyamorous community. This can take various forms, including having worked previously with poly clients; having read a good amount of literature on polyamory; and being involved with the poly community as an active ally or a community member.
