The winter 2020 class of CAEs successfully completed the CAE examination administered nationwide on December 6, 2019. They will be honored, along with the Summer class of CAEs, during the 2020 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition in Las Vegas, NV, August 8-11. A full list of the Winter 2020 class is below.

“On behalf of the CAE Commission, it is my pleasure to welcome the 190 association professionals of the 2020 winter class to the CAE community. Your ongoing commitment to the industry and your knowledge of association management practices will help your career and improve the organizations you serve,” said Donté P. Shannon, CAE, chair of the CAE Commission and CEO for the Association of Equipment Management Professionals.

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).

The next CAE examination will be administered in May 2020. The application deadline is February 21. For more details about the CAE exam, visit asaecenter.org/cae.
