Do i need a government email address to access the asgdc website

According to the American Society of Governmental Defense Counsel (ASGDC) website, membership and access to their resources are open to government attorneys, including those who work for federal, state, and local governments, as well as tribal governments.

To access the ASGDC website, you do not necessarily need a government email address. However, you will need to demonstrate your affiliation with a government entity to qualify for membership and access to their resources.

Here are some ways you can demonstrate your affiliation:

  1. Government email address: If you have a government email address (e.g., @gov.state.us), you can use it to register for an ASGDC account.
  2. Government ID: You can upload a copy of your government ID (e.g., driver's license, employee ID, or other government-issued ID) to verify your affiliation.
  3. Letter from your supervisor: If you don't have a government email address or ID, you can ask your supervisor to send a letter on official letterhead confirming your employment with a government entity.
  4. ASGDC membership application: You can fill out the ASGDC membership application form, which requires you to provide information about your government affiliation, including your employer, job title, and contact information.

Once you've provided the necessary documentation or information, ASGDC will review your application and verify your affiliation with a government entity. If approved, you'll gain access to their website, resources, and networking opportunities.

Remember to check the ASGDC website for the most up-to-date information on membership requirements and application procedures.
