Are membership dues tax deductible?

Membership dues may be tax deductible as a business expense.  Advocacy efforts comprise approximately 5% of the member dues rate and are therefore not tax deductible.

Do you sell educational materials?

We do have a variety of educational materials. The ASE Learning Hub hosts educational content and continue ASE’s offerings of free CME to ASE members.

What if I don’t receive an issue of the Journal?

Please contact us at ASE@ASEcho.org to report your missing issues.

When does the Journal get mailed out?

Mid-month. It can take up to two weeks in the U.S. or up to six weeks for international members.

How long is my membership?

Memberships run on a calendar year, January through December. Typically, if you join after August 31, your membership is considered active through the following year. This year, if you join on or after June 17, 2024, your membership will remain active through December 31, 2025. Renewal notices are mailed in October.

How many years in advance can I renew my membership?

You can renew your membership up to three years in advance. If any 50th anniversary discounts apply to your membership renewal, you will not be eligible to renew at those prices for more than one membership term (2025).

How do I get additional copies of ASE Guidelines?

ASE Standards and Guidelines are available on our site to members and the public for free. Please visit ASEcho.org/Guidelines. If you are giving an educational presentation at an ASE educational course and would like to use information from an ASE Guideline & Standards document on your slide presentation, please be sure to include credit information at the bottom of your slides.

How is my JASE subscription handled if I join after January but before September?

If you request it, we will mail you all issues of the JASE for the current year beginning with the January issue.  Please contact us at ASE@ASEcho.org and let us know how we can help you.

Do you sell or trade my phone, fax, or email address?

ASE does not sell or trade that information from its membership database.
