International Alliance Partners

About the Alliance

There is no fee for participation. A letter of request from the President of the organization with supporting materials will get the process started (see instructions below).

To apply, the organization should submit a letter of request from their President to the ASE International Relations Advisory Committee or the ASE President.

The letter of request should include the following information:

Brief history of the organization
List of Board of Directors and their roles, including contact information
Programs from annual meetings for previous 2 years (may be PDF copies)
Resource information, such as Website address and a link to the organization’s journal, if applicable
Information about activities, such as committees, working groups, meetings
Verification of a dues paying membership structure and number of members (annually). The organization may be asked to submit a verifiable list of members if the society is unknown to ASE.
If the applying body is a section, working group, or council of a cardiology association, the application should provide a brief overview of the parent organization, as well as a description of the structure of the sub-group applying.

Potential Opportunities for Alliance Organizations

Opportunities will vary among organizations, depending on geographical location, language requirements, organizational structure, and needs/interests.

Our goal is to find ways to work together that will be mutually beneficial.

Some opportunities for consideration include:

An invitation to endorse ASE guideline documents. Also, for the non-English-speaking member societies: An invitation to translate and disseminate ASE guideline documents, when applicable; and the opportunity to translate an ASE guideline poster for distribution within their membership (restrictions apply).
ASE endorsement of the alliance organization’s annual meeting. Endorsed partner meetings are listed on the ASE Learning Hub, in the monthly JASE education listings, and in the monthly education newsletter sent to ASE members worldwide.
Recognition of alliance organizations on the International Alliance Partners section of this page, on signage at the ASE Scientific Sessions, and during the International Leadership Round Table at ASE's Annual Scientific Sessions.
An invitation to submit a "short list" of outstanding organization members with their areas of expertise and contact information for inclusion on ASE speaker and author databases (selection not guaranteed).

What's In It for ASE?

Through the use of shared links and the dissemination of information to members of the alliance organizations, ASE looks for:

Greater visibility and dissemination of ASE guideline documents
Enhanced support of and interaction with echo researchers through added visibility to the alliance organizations’ members
Increased collaboration/interaction from alliance organization members in ASE activities and annual meeting
A deepening relationship with potential collaboration partners through a structured alliance program
