"What's New?"

New Website

The new ASB website will go live on July 8.  From July 1 through July 8 the site will be down as we finalize the merchant services (credit card processing) section of our Membership Renewal system.  Thank you for your patience as we complete the total revamping of our website with the goals of simplifying navigation and making all our intellectual property searchable.

We hope that you like the new look, the new navigation tools and the increased access to past Proceedings and Technical Bulletins.  
2013/14 Renewal Period will Open July 8, 2013

On July 8, members will be sent an email with instructions on how to renew via the new ASB website.  You can save time and postage by renewing online from your member portal. 

For instructions on renewing please see your July 8 e-renewal notice or contact the membership manager at agonzalez@asbe.org.

Please note, with the launch of the redesigned ASB website, all members have been assigned new login information.  All active members will be sent their new username and password in their July 8 e-renewal notice.

Usernames now reflect the primary/preferred email address to which a member receives ASB correspondence.  Passwords are set to Password1.  The system will require the member to create a new password during their first login.

If you are uncertain of the email address currently on file or are having issues logging on, please consult your July 8 ASB renewal email (your unique username, plus the default password will be listed).

Hard copies of renewal packets will be mailed on July 15 and will contain a renewal payment form for those who don't wish to renew online. 

To our complimentary Lifetime and Associate members, your packets will be mailed on July 15.  Please remember it is essential that you either update your information online or return the form that will be enclosed in your renewal packet to ensure your continued membership with the Society.  Please note, you will also receive an email on July 8 with your new username and password (same login parameters as above also apply to your accounts.

Please note the deadline for renewal will be August 31, 2013.  If you do not renew by the deadline, your access to the valuable member tools and information on the website will be temporarily suspended until membership dues have been paid.

For questions concerning the upcoming renewal period, or any general membership questions please contact the membership manager, Amanda Gonzalez, at agonzalez@asbe.org.
