WASHINGTON, DC—One hundred seventy six association executives have recently earned their Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential from the CAE Commission of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), joining more than 3,500 industry leaders worldwide. Less than five percent of all association professionals have achieved this mark of excellence. The Winter 2009 class of CAEs successfully completed the CAE examination administered nationwide on December 5, 2008. They will be honored along with the Summer 2009 class of CAEs during ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership’s 2009 Annual Meeting & Exposition, August 15-18 in Toronto. A listing by state of the Winter 2009 class of CAEs can be found below. Since its inception in 1960, the CAE program has served to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance and designate those who demonstrate knowledge essential to the practice of association management. To earn the CAE credential, candidates must first submit an application satisfying professional experience and education requirements. Successful applicants must next pass a challenging examination on all aspects of association management. Candidates undertake rigorous study sessions in preparation for the exam, and only those who are able to achieve the designated examination score earn the CAE credential. Once earned, the certification must be renewed every three years through additional studies and leadership activities. “My most sincere congratulations to the Winter 2009 class of CAEs,” said Mark A. Smith, Ph.D., CAE, director of education and training at the American Society of Hematology and chair of the CAE Commission. “These individuals have demonstrated the highest caliber of association management knowledge and proved their understanding of the issues and trends affecting our profession. Earning a CAE is not an easy task and requires discipline, determination and perseverance. It is an outstanding achievement and I wish the new class all the best as they continue their diligent work in our community.” The next CAE examination will be administered nationwide on May 1, 2009. The application deadline for this exam is February 13. (Applications will be accepted through March 13 for an additional $100 fee.) The exam is held at ASAE Headquarters in Washington, DC and at several other locations nationally and internationally. For more details about the CAE exam, contact Lori Frison, CAE, director of credentialing, at 202.626.2759 or caedept@asaenet.org. MEDIA CONTACT: Jakub M.
