NEW: This year, we’re tracking miles exercised. Sponsored by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission, Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. and the National Board of Echocardiography, Inc., this  competition features a lofty goal to travel the distance between our headquarters in Durham, NC, to the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, WA, where we are hosting the 2022 Scientific Sessions next year. That’s about 2,828 miles to cover! 

Sign up in advance by filling out this form or simply email Foundation@ASEcho.org

Full details available online here.

The deadline to apply for an ASEF Council Training Grant has been extended to April 30, 2021. Full submission details available online here.

The Council Training Grants are part of an ongoing effort by the Foundation and the Council Steering Committees to encourage trainees in cardiovascular specialties to focus on the respective echocardiography subspecialty and to recruit enthusiastic new members to the Councils. The grants will cover the recipients registration fees to attend the 32nd Annual ASE Scientific Sessions. Do not miss out on this opportunity!

Celebrate Women’s History Month with the ASE Foundation all March long by donating in honor of the women in your life! Think of your mentors, supervisors, family members – any women who are important to you.

We have set a goal to raise $5,000 in March to kick start our 2021 Annual Appeal. When you donate, be sure to include a tribute message and send a picture of the honoree to Mary Carmody, ASE Foundation Manager. Allow us to shine a spotlight on the women who have inspired you!

We are now accepting photo submissions for this year’s photo exhibit: Hope and Resilience In Action.

This year we are taking a break from our traditional Images from the Heart photo exhibit and instead are going to create an exhibit that features healthcare workers during the global pandemic. Full submission details are available here.

Day in and day out, our members give their hearts and souls to their patients. Let us shine a light on them and spread hope that things will get better in the coming year!
