The Winter 2019 class of CAEs successfully completed the CAE examination administered nationwide on December 7, 2018. They will be honored, along with the summer class of CAEs, during the 2019 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition in Columbus, Ohio, August 10-13. A full listing of the Winter 2019 class is at the end of the release.

“Each of the new CAE’s has demonstrated tremendous dedication throughout this process. Becoming a CAE is an achievement that is truly earned,” said Lowell Aplebaum, CAE, CPF, Chair of the CAE Commission and Chief Executive Officer & Strategy Catalyst of Vista Cova.

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 3, 2019. The application deadline is Friday, February 22. For more details about the CAE exam, visit asaecenter.org/cae.
