For information and instructions on how to join the discussion board, please contact localsections@aiche.org.
Program Funding and Development
How do I find out more about successful programming ideas and available funding?
One of the best ways to learn about successful programming ideas is find out what other local sections are doing. This is why the Local Sections Discussion Group is a great tool for sharing best practices and exchanging ideas with other section leaders.
The AIChE local sections website is another great resource for you to read more about section programming ideas and activities.
Many innovative and successful programs have come out of the AIChE Program Planning and John J. McKetta ProjectConnect Grant Programs designed to assist local sections in their programming efforts. To read about the innovative activities supported by the grants and more information about the grant criteria, award amounts, and how to apply for both programs please visit the Resources for Local Sections Page.
Dues Accounting- Collection and Remittance
How often does AIChE send the local section dues checks?
AIChE sends out dues checks to all sections on a quarterly basis. Dues are calculated on actual payments received. Dues collected January-March are sent out in April/May; dues collected April-June are sent out in July/August; dues collected for July-September are sent in October; dues collected during the last quarter of the year, October-December, are mailed in January/February of the following year. Visit the Resources for Local Sections Page for dues summary and more on section governance.
Tax Exemption and Incorporation/Tax I.D. Number
How can I obtain a copy of AIChE's Tax Exemption Letter?
Once your section has been included under the group tax exemption, AIChE Membership Department can provide copies of the Institute's tax exemption letter, and a letter stating your Employer Identification Number-confirming that your section is included in AIChE's group exemption. To receive this information, contact localsections@aiche.org or (646) 495-1333.
What is my section's Employer Identification Number?
Whether or not your section has incorporated, it must obtain an Employer Identification Number (a.k.a "Tax I.D. Number"). Most sections have already obtained a Tax I.D. Number and can ask AIChE's Membership Department for that information via localsections@aiche.org; however those that have not must file form SS-4 with their regional I.R.S Office.
