Chapters

ASES chapters are independent organizations with their own memberships and dues structures, board of directors, and visions, missions and programs. Collectively they work with ASES to achieve the broader vision of stronger solar and renewable energy communities while being responsive to local and regional challenges and opportunities.

We have student and non-student chapters serving most of the United States. These offer incredible opportunities to get to know and engage with the renewable energy landscape in your community. Join the discussion in the ASES Online Community!

While ASES and its chapters are related, membership in one does not confer membership in the other.

For detailed information on the benefits and responsibilities of ASES Chapters, as well as steps to become an ASES Chapter, please see our ASES Chapter Handbook, ASES Student Chapter Handbook and our ASES Student Chapter Guide.

For more information about ASES Chapters, contact us at info@ases.org. If you are a student group interested in becoming an ASES Student Chapter, contact Kaycee Chang (kchang@ases.org).
