aRE YOU GETTING OUR EMAIL MESSAGES?

For some time now, the Minnesota Section has been using email as its primary method of communicating with its members.  But we periodically hear feedback from our members that the messages are not reaching them.  If this applies to you, it may be that your email profile at the national office is blocking the messages.  Here's how to make sure your messages are not being blocked. 

First, CHECK YOUR SPAM OR JUNK MAIL FOLDER.  If the messages are there, follow whatever directions your email program recommends to send future mailings to your inbox.

Note: To proceed further, you will need your ASME member number .  You can find your number on your membership card, on a recent renewal statement, or you can call the national office at 1-800-843-2763.

  1. Go to the ASME International website at www.asme.org.
  2. Click on the MEMBERS ONLY tab near the top, right corner of the screen.
  3. Logon with your email address and paswsword.  If you do not yet have an ASME account, you will be asked to set up an account.  You will need your email address, last name, and membership number to complete this process.
  4. On the left side of the screen you will see a menu.  Look for the item labeled "My ASME Profile".  If there is a red + symbol on this line, click on the plus sign to expand this item.  If there is a red minus sign this menu item is already expanded.
  5. Scroll down the list until you see a link to E-mail Receipt Preferences.  Click on this link.
  6. You will then see a list of check-box items.  Halfway down the list is the category for "Professional/Personal Services", and about halfway down that list you will find the item "Local Section Programs and Communications".  Make sure this box, and the one at the end of the list, "ALL OF THE ABOVE", are NOT checked.
  7. Make any other changes you wish, and click on the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page.  You MUST click on this button in order to record the changes.

That's all it takes.  You should begin getting our email messages soon.
