ASGA members can utilize a searchable database of every Student Government at every college and university in America. ASGA tracks data including the contact information for each college and its Student Government, the size and type of school, budgets, number of members, corporate structure, predominant ethnic makeup, residential status, number of clubs, web sites, e-mail addresses, fax numbers, mailing addresses, and more.
ASGA also includes a library of nearly 1,000 articles relating to Student Government, most of which appeared in the organization's member-magazine Student Leader, links to hundreds of companies and organizations that serve SG, and e-mail lists for officers and advisors. ASGA also provides best practices, stores thousands of documents including constitutions, by-laws, and election codes.
ASGA produces eight Student Government Training Conferences, and provides analysis to student governments through its subsidiary, The SG Consulting Group.
