Redeem Points Earned for Sharing the Value of ACHE

As the year ends, be sure to redeem points earned through the Leader-to-Leader Rewards Program before they expire Dec. 31. If you referred colleagues to become members last year, you not only helped to build a more diverse and inclusive ACHE community, but you earned points for Leader-to-Leader Rewards.

To earn points, list your name as the referral on a new member application or on an FACHE® application. Once the membership is activated or all Fellow requirements have been met, you will receive points to redeem for rewards such as an ACHE-branded travel mug, a customizable coaster set or a computer briefcase. Points expire the year after they are earned on Dec. 31.

Please note that Leader-to-Leader points cannot be earned by referring a member suspended in 2019 to rejoin. If you have any questions, please contact the Customer Service Center at (312) 424-9400 or email contact@ache.org.
