What is the CAE?
For over half a century, the Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation remains the symbol for excellence in every facet of association management. The program is designed to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance, and designate association professionals who demonstrate the knowledge essential to the practice of association management. Those who are currently employed with an association and are looking to move into a chief staff position in the near future, should consider this certification.
Benefits of Becoming a CAE
- Self-confidence. 70% of CAE test takers report enhancing knowledge, improving advancement opportunities, and evaluating their status as their motivation.
- Value and recognition particularly among board leaders, members, and those involved in hiring nonprofit professionals.
- Creates connections through a range of CAE-only events and increased volunteer leadership opportunities through the Michigan Society of Association Executives (MSAE) and the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE).
About the MSAE Preparation Course
MSAE has helped more association executives become CAE’s than any other entity through online education, study guide reading comprehension questions, and CAE Terminology and Key Concepts Flashcards. All conference calls are recorded for those who are unable to participate in the scheduled calls. Registrants can participate from their home, office, or while traveling.
Course Instructor
Sue Radwan, CAE, facilitates high-level discussions on the domain content. The owner of Leading Edge Mentoring, she has spent over 20 years developing professional education for associations, including a national designation program. Radwan has considerable experience working with associations in the areas of board leadership and development, enhancing communications, strategic planning and human resource management. She will provide valuable guidance on certification information and tips for taking multiple-choice tests.
