Dear ASTE Members,

We're excited to share an important update about our website and membership management system.

As part of our broader electronic transition, users who visit www.theaste.org will automatically be redirected to our new website and membership management platform, now provided by WildApricot. The new system offers enhanced functionality, improved navigation, and a more user-friendly experience for managing your membership and accessing ASTE resources.

Membership and Profile Information:
If you are a 2025 ASTE member in the current system, you will be able to access the new member portal with your membership and profile information already transferred. To login you need to use the same email address as used in the original ASTE site. Once logged in, you will also have the opportunity to reset your password, review your information and customize your privacy settings according to your preferences.

Login Instructions:
If it is your first time accessing the new member portal, you may need to reset your password. Please click "Forgot Password" on the login page to establish your credentials within the updated system.

Important Membership Information:
If you are not a 2025 member in the current system and want to become a member, you will need to register as a new member for the 2025 membership year through the new platform.

New Feature – ASTE Job Board:
The new ASTE website features an online Job Board, where current members (at no cost) and non-members (i.e., fees will apply) can easily submit job openings and view current opportunities in the field. Members will also have the option to subscribe to job board updates directly on the site, making it even easier to stay informed about new position announcements.

Additional Reminders:

• The redirection from theaste.org will occur automatically — no action is needed on your part to find the new site.
   

• Members will receive personalized email communications through the new system to manage membership renewals as we approach the end of the membership year. These communications will be sent 90 days before the renewal date (early October), 30 days before the renewal date (early December), and on the actual renewal date (January 1). If not renewed within 7 days, member status will be changed to lapsed. 
   

Thank you for your patience and support as we complete this transition. Please stay tuned for additional updates.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,
Maria Wallace

ASTE Director of Electronic Services
