Ready to achieve a new level of professional growth and recognition?
The Certified Association Executive (CAE) program is designed to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance, and designate association professionals who demonstrate the knowledge essential to the practice of association management. Founded in 1960, the CAE program stands as a mark of excellence and has evolved to reflect what it takes to manage an association in today's challenging climate.

To assist AzSAE Members in preparing for the CAE Exam which is offered twice a year, AzSAE conducts a CAE Study Group. The group meets in-person for the 3 month period prior to the exam. Participation in the group is complimentary* for AzSAE Members. For more information on the next study group check out the Calendar of Events or contact the AzSAE Office at (480) 946-0119. *Application/exam fees and study materials such as books and other aide expenses are the responsibility of the participant.
The CAE Program is geared towards association management practitioners, who have a vested interest in advancing their profession and the industry and have five years of experience working at the staff level at a qualifying organization.

Earning the CAE credential is the hallmark of a committed association professional. It helps drive professional self-confidence, opens doors, creates connections, and offers widespread value and recognition for certificants.
The application fee is $500 for ASAE members and $700 for nonmembers. The fee must be submitted with the application. If you do not sit for the exam within the next 2 test dates after your application has been accepted, your application will expire and all fees forfeit. Once your application expires, you would need to reapply in order to sit for the exam. The CAE examination is offered twice annually -- on the first Friday in May and the first Friday in December.
