“Membership in AASE is so much more than an impressive professional affiliation to add to your CV, though it does qualify as such. For many years Academic and Bar Support professionals gathered under the auspices of the Law School Admission Council, and when those meetings were no longer possible, ASPers — true to form — created a new way to come together. So AASE grew from a genuine desire to spend time together, to share ideas, and to support one another as we support our students and schools. AASE stood for togetherness, and it still does; it is a safe harbor in which we can pause, rest, and revive, adding some new improvements to our vessels before heading back out to the often-churning sea of our vital work. I am so grateful for my AASE family and the sincere friendships we built and continue to build there...and sure, it's nice addition to our CVs, too.”

“Whether you have been directing an ASP Program for decades or are brand new to the field, membership in AASE is a must. Joining AASE gives you access to ASP Professionals from across the country who are very generous with their time and expertise. As for our annual conference, it is designed to ensure that every attendee heads home with multiple ideas that they can implement immediately. I can’t imagine working in the ASP field and not being a member of AASE.”
