Finding Information
You can find information on the site either by browsing or searching.
Browsing
The orange navigation bar at the top of the illustrated area on every page features the major activities of ASAE & The Center and is the primary navigation for the site. Dropdown menus appear when you move your mouse cursor over these categories. Click on the function or topic that interests you.
Once you have clicked, the primary navigation item is highlighted and a light blue second level navigation and dark blue third level navigation box appear on the left side below the orange primary navigation bar. These boxes appear in the same location no matter which primary navigation category is selected. When you select a second level category from the menu (for example, ASAE & The Center from the About Us menu), third level navigation appears in the dark blue box.
Some items appear in more than one menu to help you find it more easily. When you select one of these items, the navigation will return to the first menu in which that item appeared.
If you are unable to locate an item in the navigation, the site map provides another helpful resource. The site map includes all first and second level pages and a link to the site map can be found at the top and bottom of all pages.
You can also browse by major association job functions by visiting our Resources by Professional Interest pages found in the pulldown menu at the top center of every page, or browse popular association management topics by clicking advanced search and looking at the categories at the bottom of the page.
