The Winter 2018 class of CAEs successfully completed the CAE examination administered nationwide on December 1, 2017. They will be honored, along with the Summer class of CAEs, during the 2018 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition in Chicago, August 18-21. A full list of the Winter 2018 class is at the end of the release.

“By earning your CAE, you have a greater knowledge regarding all areas of association management that will assist you throughout your career. Congratulations to the new class,” said Tracy L. Petrillo, EdD, CAE, chair of the CAE Commission and Chief Executive Officer of the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine.

The CAE Program serves to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance, and designate those who have acquired and have demonstrated knowledge essential to the practice of association management. The CAE Program is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).

The next CAE examination will be administered on May 4. The application deadline is February 23. For more details about the CAE exam, visit asaecenter.org/cae.
