In 2013, the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) will celebrate the centennial of the formation of one of its two predecessor societies, the American Society for Experimental Pathology (ASEP). ASEP was formed in 1913 to provide a pathology arm to the newly established FASEB, and is the reason that we have been holding joint annual meetings with our sister FASEB societies since that time (currently Experimental Biology). In the 1970s, the ASEP merged with the American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists (formed in 1900) to become the American Association of Pathologists, which in 1992 was re-incorporated as the American Society for Investigative Pathology.
Centennial observances will include a special reception during Experimental Biology 2013 in Boston, the publication of a historical archive of major scientific accomplishments of the membership, and a Journal Centennial program with special features in issues of The American Journal of Pathology.
The Centennial Fund has been established to support these programs. ASIP is a non-profit educational 501(c)(3) organization. Your contribution to the Centennial Fund is tax-deductible under current IRS regulations. Please consult your tax accountant for deductibility.
Donors will be acknowledged at the following levels:
Centennial Leader - Recognizes contributions in excess of $5,000
Centennial Ambassador - Recognizes contributions in excess of $2,500
Centennial Diplomat - Recognizes contributions in excess of $1,000
Centennial Partner - Recognizes contributions in excess of $500
Centennial Friend - Recognizes contributions up to $100
All donors will be recognized in signage and promotion of the Centennial Celebration. Individuals who provide over $500 in support will receive a complimentary ticket to the ASIP Centennial Celebration to be held at the ASIP 2013 Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology. Individuals who provide support over $1,000 will receive two complimentary tickets to this event. Individuals contributing over $5,000 will have the opportunity to sponsor a table at the ASIP Centennial Celebration.
