Certified Association Executive (CAE)

CAE

CAE. Those three letters after your name represent professional recognition and career advancement. CAE, the Certified Association Executive, is the professional designation for the association management profession — and the Association Forum is here to help you earn this distinction through:

 

  • Newly Appointed CAEs: Congratulations to our new CAEs!
  • CAE Recertification Requirements: Beginning with certificates due to renew in 2020, of the 40 credits required, one credit must be focused on ethics.
  • CAE Information: You don’t have to visit a million different websites to learn about the CAE process; we’ve collected answers to your most common CAE questions right here in an easy-to-read and easy-to-access FAQ format.
  • CAE Study Group: Association networking, education test-prep have never been so easy. Our CAE Study Group meets virtually to give you convenient access to Chicago associations’ best CAE resources. We offer the CAE Study Group twice a year.
