The Summer 2022 class of CAEs successfully completed the CAE examination administered worldwide May 1-14, 2022. They will be honored, along with the 2020, 2021, and 2022 classes of CAEs, during the 2022 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition in Nashville, TN, August 20-23. A full list of the Summer 2022 class is at the end of the release.

“We are excited to welcome this new cohort of CAEs. Earning and maintaining the CAE shows their commitment to the profession and to continuing their learning journey as association professionals. As they continue to expand their knowledge and advance in their careers, we will be proud to have them as a part of the CAE Community,” said Elizabeth Santana, MBA, CAE, ICE-CCP, Chair of the CAE Commission and Direction of Conceptual Research & Design at Inteleos.

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