Why ASEM
As a Non Exclusively Represented Employee (NERE), under Civil Service rules, YOU can join a Limited Recognition Organization (LRO) to represent you and advocate for your interests as a state employee. The Association of State Employees in Management (ASEM), an LRO recognized by Civil Service, has a long history of commitment to advocacy for the interests of state government's NERE career professionals and retirees. Also, if you are classified as a NERE, except for certain Human Resource staff, you are eligible to join ASEM--you do not have to be a manager to receive the benefits of ASEM.
ASEM's purpose is to maintain the highest standard of performance through preservation of the merit system. ASEM keeps members highly informed on issues of interest on a regular basis, and members are encouraged to identify issues of concern, express views, participate in committees, and seek to become Board members.
