 As a financial professional I wanted to expand my knowledge and understanding of the various factors impacting associations. I was guided to the CAE designation where I found foundational knowledge about the association world. The interaction and exchange of ideas with other association leaders widened my view of the association landscape and helped shed light on potential tools and opportunities. The CAE^® program brings together leaders wanting to expand their knowledge to better serve their members. Beyond the course material lies the benefit of networking with other leaders in the field and it is on you to capitalize on those opportunities. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
