The Spring 2023 class of CAEs successfully completed the CAE examination administered worldwide May 1-14, 2023. They will be honored, along with the December 2022 class of CAEs, during the 2023 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition in Atlanta, GA, August 5-8. A full list of the Spring 2023 class, which includes a growing contingent of global association professionals, is at the end of the release.

“Congratulations to the new class of CAEs! We commend these dedicated professionals for earning this distinction and demonstrating their commitment to the profession. This achievement reflects not only significant experience and study, but also a return on investment in their pursuit of ongoing learning and career development. We welcome you into a growing community of fellow thought leaders and expert practitioners who are advancing the field of association management.,” said Diana M.L. Tucker, CAE, Chair of the CAE Commission and Vice President of Membership and Chapter Relations at NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association.

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