Local chapters of state, national and international engineering societies representing diverse professional disciplines

Affiliate Members

Each affiliate society can submit up to one page of Affiliate news for inclusion in each issue of the Rochester Engineer e-magazine. Additional pages can be purchased at a rate of $175 per page. Every Affiliate can and are encouraged to submit its meeting information for inclusion in the calendar portion of the publication for free (which also gets automatically posted to the website calendar - one of our most visited sites).

The magazine is published monthly, with the exception of July; the deadline for contributions (submitted digitally to the RES) being the 10^th of the month prior to publication. Starting April 2020 there we no longer print and mail the  Rochester Engineer magazines. The electronic copies are free (at this time) and you can sign up to get a notice when the issue is posted online (click here). The president/chairs also receive an email when the issue goes live each month.

Each affiliate society member may have both their web address and email address included on the RES web page, with a live-link to the affiliate’s home page from the RES page called “Links to Affiliates.”   

The RES address may be used as the official mailing address for the affiliate for a yearly charge of $40. This service eliminates the confusion of changing addresses each year as the officer's change. If a postal box is being used, this service eliminates the problem of going to the post office to check out whether there is any mail. The affiliate informs RES of Affiliate contact person for notification when mail is received. The RES will forward mail on a regular basis to a designated person (plus postage). This service is billed yearly. Affiliate members may list the RES telephone number as their own. The affiliate supplies the RES staff with information on how to direct the caller to the proper society officer. The charge for this service is $55 per year. 

Annual Dues:
$175

If you wish to join as an Affiliate Society member, please forward your request in writing on your society’s stationery to the current President (Michelle Sommerman, PE from June 2022 through May 2024) at the following address:  Rochester Engineering Society, 180 Linden Oaks, Suite 100, Rochester NY 14625 or email to res@frontiernet.net. After receiving your request, a couple of representatives will be invited to the next board meeting (this year they are being held at 12:00 pm on the second Wednesday of the month - these meetings are also posted on the website calendar) to give us information about your affiliate. We will then vote on the membership after your departure and contact you after the meeting.
