Certified Association Executive (CAE) Info

Is It Your Year to Become a CAE?  
Fall CAE Sessions begin October 6, register now.

CAE . Those three letters after your name can represent professional recognition and career advancement. CAE means Certified Association Executive, the professional designation for the association management profession ... and the Forum can help you achieve this individual certification. The Association Forum was the first local society to provide study groups for CAE candidates back in the mid-'70s.

The Forum strongly encourages you to enroll in the society's study group. The sooner you get the application into ASAE, the sooner you will know whether you are eligible to sit for the exam, and to participate in the study group. Here are the details:

WHO: The study group is intended for association professionals who have met the basic CAE certification requirements, who file their application by September 11, 2009 (or October 9, 2009- Subject to an additional $100 application extension fee) and who intend to take the December  4,  2009 examination .

WHAT: The study group is a small, interactive group of association professionals that meets for a structured case study series based on the ten domain areas of identified competencies, open discussion and a review of potential exam questions and materials.

WHERE: Tuesday, October 6 - Tuesday, November 17, 2009
5:30 pm to 8:00 pm Association Forum- 10 S. Riverside Plaza Ste 800 Chicago, IL

Thursday, October 8-November 19, 2009 Location to be determined.

CONTENT : Weekly meetings will be facilitated by existing CAEs and will focus on  the ten identified domains of association management expertise. With this format, every exam subject will be covered thoroughly. It is strongly advised that all students read the recommended reading materials BEFORE the scheduled case study. The schedule will be e-mailed to all enrollees.

ORDERING BOOKS:

You can order the books through ASAE at www.asaenet.org/cae .
