Volunteer Opportunities

Welcome to ASAE’s Volunteer Town Square where you can volunteer for projects that fit your interests, expertise and schedule. Here you will find short-term opportunities as well as ASAE’s one-year term council and committee board appointed groups. Short-term opportunities appear unscheduled throughout the year and council and committee opportunities are recruited in April.  You can find a list of all the council and committees on the ASAE Volunteer Leadership website.

Do you want ASAE to reach out to you with the perfect upcoming opportunities?  Please go to My Volunteer Profile and share a few bits of information about yourself. We will notify you when something of interest becomes available.

Note: Other volunteer opportunities are listed throughout the year. Look below for current openings. Contact volunteer@asaecenter.org if you have questions.

Thank you.

The process is easy!

Peruse the list of projects in the "Volunteer Opportunities" list below. 

Opportunities will be posted throughout the year so come back often to see what is available. Please note in order to sign up for a volunteer opportunity, you must be a current member of ASAE and logged in to Collaborate.


Diversity of Voice:  

With support of ASAE staff, the selection committee utilizes the ASAE Board Diversity Policy and Volunteer Model to ensure the group is composed of a variety of voices from the membership. To support this effort, all ASAE members can log into their main ASAE account and update their information in their ASAE Profile to ensure it is complete and up to date.

Ad Hoc: Assistance Needed to Test Functional Benchmarking Surveys - Signup Deadline: 03-13-26; Opportunity Begins: 03-17-2026

ASAE is launching a new set of benchmarking surveys this spring covering most areas of association management—such as membership, technology, meetings, community, governance, and HR—building on what was previously known as Benchmarking in Association Management, last updated in 2019. While volunteers have already helped shape the survey questions, we are now seeking volunteers to test the questionnaires in our new survey tool by reviewing as many surveys as they wish (ranging from 2 to 10 minutes each) and checking skip logic, spelling, and overall clarity, as well as suggesting any missing questions or ones that may be ready to retire.

They are engaged members of ASAE, who are leaders within the organization and serve on councils and committees and share their knowledge through giving back. Award-winning applications will convey the significance and impact of one’s involvement in ASAE activities as well as other volunteer professional organizations related to association management or the industry.
