Since its inception in 1960, the CAE program has served to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance and designate those who demonstrate knowledge essential to the practice of association management. To earn the CAE credential, candidates must first submit an application satisfying professional experience and education requirements.
Successful applicants must next pass a challenging examination on all aspects of association management. Candidates undertake significant lengths of study in preparation for the exam, and only those who are able to achieve the designated examination score earn the CAE credential. Once earned, the certification must be renewed every three years through additional studies and leadership activities.
