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:
- CAE Recertification Requirements: 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.
- CAE Scholarships: If you have the motivation to achieve your CAE — but could use a boost from additional funds — we can help with one of our CAE scholarships, awarded once a year to Chicago associations’ aspiring CAE candidates.
