Most of our active members successfully receive reimbursements from their employer! Employers want you to advertise their company, network, recruit new employees or attract new business. Employers appreciate you being an active part of an industry society outside of work, and they typically reimburse for membership dues, event fees, and conference registration costs. Besides financial reimbursement, some employers will let you bill time for ASCE events or board meetings, for example.
You can download an ASCE provided Employer support letter template (word doc), which can be found with other resources here.
You may also check out the letter template for attending a conference event (shown to right), which of course can be edited for general membership or event reimbursements.
