Friends of CESSE Fund

Celebrating 50 Years. Investing in the Next 50.

For 50 years, CESSE has brought together leaders from engineering and scientific societies to learn, connect, and strengthen their organizations. As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we invite you to help ensure that future generations of association professionals have access to the same opportunities that have shaped our community for decades.

Please consider making a donation in an amount meaningful to you. Together, we can celebrate the achievements of the past while creating opportunities for the next generation of CESSE leaders.

About the Fund

A recent decision by the CESSE Board of Directors expanded the role of the Friends of CESSE Fund, allowing it to play a vital role in supporting scholarship opportunities for CESSE members to attend the CEO Meeting and ACCESSE.

These scholarships include meeting registration and a $1,000 travel stipend, helping professionals from across our community participate in the leadership development, peer learning, and networking opportunities that define the CESSE experience. For many recipients, these programs provide access to relationships, knowledge, and career growth opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

As we honor CESSE's 50-year legacy, your gift helps strengthen the future of our profession by investing in the people who will lead it. Every contribution supports meaningful access, fosters professional growth, and helps ensure that CESSE remains a vibrant and welcoming community for years to come.
