Paying ISSMGE Dues on Your ASCE Renewal

If you are currently a member of ISSMGE, your dues are automatically listed on your ASCE renewal. If you are not currently a member of ISSMGE, but would like to join, you need to mark the ISSMGE New/Renew column with an "X" and write in the amount of $15 in the "Write-In" portion. Renewing online at www.asce.org/renewal prevents most, if not all, of the confusion associated with this process. Please call ASCE's toll free help line at 800-548-2723 if you would like any assistance with your renewal.
