SAE is introducing a new engagement model designed to incentivize volunteers for their contributions to our organization. This will be achieved by rewarding volunteers for their SAE activities with a pre-determined number of points. SAE’s Engagement Reward Points can be used towards free or discounted SAE Membership.

We communicate program changes to you via email. Please make sure to update your mySAE account with a current email address and your communication preferences so you are receiving your notification emails.
4.) When can I start earning Engagement Reward Points?
All bank accounts were prepopulated with any Engagement Rewards from January 1 – June 1, 2019.
