ASHE New Sections Committee Request – Click here for PDF

Greetings dear ASHE Section Presidents, Secretaries, and fellow members,

As the beginning of each year has traditionally been a time many of us devote to getting smaller based on New Year’s Resolutions. We at the ASHE National level are interested in getting bigger! We have focused attention on more remote areas such as Portland, Oregon and Denver, Colorado amongst others. Our newest initiative includes seeing if there are opportunities closer to “home”. “Home” meaning seeking potential new section champions which may be travelling to areas with current sections, or have a branch office in an untapped region of the country which may have an person interested in sharing the ASHE mission with others and getting a section started. With that said, I am respectfully asking that all current sections include this message in their newsletters, on their websites, and mention this initiative at their section meetings.

Anyone interested in discussing opportunities to start a new section are encouraged to contact either the Tim Matthews or Perry Schweiss, Co-Chairs of the ASHE New Sections Committee (contact information provided below), or any one of the ASHE National Board members (contact information provided on the website – ASHE.pro). There are many resources available to assist in this endeavor including Powerpoint presentations, detailed guidance and procedures, etc.; all of which can be found on the website. The most important resource available however is also ASHE’s strongest attribute…it’s members!

We are 6,000+ strong with 41 active sections and, with your spark, we will continue to grow in membership and, as this initiative supports, geographically! We look forward to hearing from those with the pioneering spirit and enthusiasm to spread the ASHE mission!!

With sincere gusto!
