IT&T Capital Campaign National Steering Committee
Why Should I
Support the IT&T
Campaign
Dear Colleagues:
ASGE is in the midst of an unprecedented fundraising
campaign to construct a new IT&T Center and staff
headquarters in order to further our mission to provide
the best endoscopic care to our patients. We are proud
to serve our member colleagues as Campaign Co-Chairs
and couldn’t be more excited to lead the charge for this
extraordinary initiative. The IT&T Capital Campaign
is a historic effort in which ASGE will unify Society
thought leaders and corporate visionaries to strengthen
ASGE as the world leader in gastrointestinal endoscopic
training and education. In order to attain our $6,000,000
campaign goal, we must educate, recruit and solicit as
many members and corporate constituents as possible.
One of our primary campaign goals is to raise over
$3,000,000 from ASGE members. We believe that once
you learn of the true value and direct benefits of the
IT&T Center to all GI endoscopists and our Society as
a whole, you will join us and invest in this unparalleled
initiative.
We hope that you carefully consider your commitment to
the ASGE IT&T Capital Campaign, and are confident
that your investment in the Global Home for Endoscopy
will be a wise one. All commitments are appreciated and
will be appropriately recognized throughout the five-year
pledge period of the campaign.
We look forward to all future conversations with you
regarding this extraordinary endeavor to turn this
visionary dream into a reality!

Healthcare is changing at breakneck speed!
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is evolving ever more rapidly
and in different diagnostic and therapeutic directions.
The future promises advances in endoscopic technology
and improvements in patient care. How will you stay
ahead of the competition How will you stay up to date
and be trained continuously in each new technology as it
emerges
If endoscopy is your practice, the ASGE IT&T is your
future. The new ASGE IT&T is the global home for
endoscopy—a place where knowledge and techniques
are shared across borders, across generations and across
disciplines. Whether you physically come to the new
ASGE IT&T or participate via satellite broadcast from
your institution or practice, you are a direct beneficiary of
the new IT&T.
By investing in the IT&T Capital Campaign, you
are helping to advocate for the entire GI endoscopy
community. The new ASGE IT&T Center provides:
• Resources for the ongoing success of medical training
programs through accredited CME and hands-on
training, with exposure to the newest technologies and
techniques
• The ability to stay connected to ASGE and the
latest education and training curriculum through
technologies that facilitate both live and virtual
learning experiences via real-time satellite broadcasts
• A state-of-the-art learning facility with nationally
and internationally recognized faculty that allows for
integrated hands-on and didactic medical training
• Expanded training models that are used to optimize
training, care delivery, and patient safety to augment
and strengthen your medical program or practice
• Opportunities to network with peers from around
the world which enhances the learning experience and
unifies the global endoscopic community
