Description

Are you ready to pursue the Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation but don't know where to begin? Maybe you have signed up to take the CAE exam, but you’re not sure how to prepare. If you are ready to earn your CAE, the Kickoff is your first step. And you’ll receive a digital copy of the CAE Study Guide, included in the price of registration.

The CAE exam covers a broad base of association management knowledge, so there's a lot of information to review, compile, and organize. The Kickoff will help you assess your knowledge of the content, sort out what is and is not covered on the exam, identify content areas you need to focus on, and even rediscover the joys of test-taking.

Register today to:

  • get a solid overview of the new CAE Exam Content Outline
  • learn how to approach the exam with the mindset of a chief staff executive.
  • take a practice exam to evaluate your progress and areas that need more attention.
  • develop a study plan.
  • forge long-term relationships with other association professionals and create study groups to help you prepare for the exam.

There is no prereading requirement for this program. Together, participants will review the materials that are considered CAE core resources.

The CAE Kickoff is independent of the CAE certification program, which requires a separate application. The CAE program is governed by the CAE Commission, an independent certifying body of ASAE. In adherence to best practices for certifying bodies, CAE Commission volunteers and CAE staff are not involved in the development of any preparatory program, and no preparatory program is endorsed by the CAE Commission nor is a prerequisite to earn the CAE. The CAE Commission and its staff are solely responsible for the policies and administration of the CAE program, including application deadlines and qualification requirements.

Questions about the CAE Kickoff should be directed to Vivienne Oxford at voxford@asaecenter.org. To learn more about CAE certification, contact the CAE program at caedept@asaecenter.org or 202-626-2759.
