A colleague of ours from KSAE, Amy Farmer, is a doctoral candidate at the University of Missouri - Columbia. Her dissertation examines the motivations of association professionals to sit for the Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential.

• The survey's target audience is association professionals who have chosen to take the CAE, regardless of whether they passed, including those preparing to take it.
• The survey is 100% anonymous and voluntary.
• The questions are focused on the motivations of adult learners and are not specific to the CAE or professional certification, but they are a trusted method of determining adult learner motivation.
• The survey is quick, only taking 4 minutes for participants to complete.  
• Take the survey now.

Questions? Feel free to reach out to Amy at ajg6b5@mail.missouri.edu. I received a copy of her dissertation proposal and think it’ll be helpful to our community in the future. She’s willing to share results with us once completed. – WWK
