FASE Application Procedures
Review is completed approximately four weeks after the application due date. Questions about your FASE application can be directed to 919-861-5574 or FASE@asecho.org.
All notifications are sent by email. Members with pending applications are given an opportunity to provide more information. Once the candidate is approved, an email is sent and the new FASE is asked to confirm spelling and format of their name for its presentation on a FASE certificate. Once the deadline to respond has passed, FASE certificates will be mailed to individuals.
All unapproved applicants are considered pending and are provided with specific reasons for the committee’s vote. Pending applicants have an opportunity to resolve these issues during the
current cycle, or to reapply a second time to address the issue(s) at no additional charge. A third application and any subsequent applications will require an additional $350 FASE application fee.
Along with the application fee, applicants must provide a narrative outlining their compliance with any deficient areas from their prior application.
General FASE FAQs
No, once you are approved for FASE, your designation will stay active as long as you continue to keep your ASE membership current. Nonmembers or inactive members cannot be FASE.
If your ASE member dues are not paid for 2 years or more, you will have to reapply for the designation according to current published requirements and pay the reapplication fee.

All candidates for the ASE Board of Directors must have FASE before they can be nominated. Committee Chairs and Co-chairs must also have FASE. Because board nominations and calls for committee volunteers occur in early Fall, you must have your FASE application completed by the August 1 cycle to allow enough time for the review process. FASE applications submitted after this date can be considered for board and committee chair positions for the following year.
The application fee is $350 USD. Please note that all unapproved applicants are considered pending and are provided with specific reasons for the committee’s vote. Pending applicants have an opportunity to resolve these issues during the current cycle, or to reapply a second time to resolve the issue(s) at no additional charge. A third application and any subsequent applications will require an additional $350 FASE application fee.
