CAE Study Group
August 28th - November, 2024
REGISTER HERE:

Join your fellow DFW area association professionals in preparing for the CAE Exam! The Certified Association Executive credential does more than advance individual careers: it powers entire organizations (and the DFW community!) through a “CAE culture” that values ongoing professional development in the association management field.

The domains of the CAE exam cover all aspects of association leadership. Study Group participants review every domain in detail and discuss best practices. Working through the study materials together helps everyone separate the ideal from the everyday practice – an essential activity to pass this exam. The discussions are led by DFWAE CAEs, many of whom participated in a study group when they were prepping for the exam!

Join DFWAE for the Fall 2024 DFWAE CAE Study Group! Study sessions run from August thru November, with exam dates in December.
REGISTER NOW! Full information on the CAE examination requirements, application, and study tools can be found at https://www.asaecenter.org/programs/cae-certification.  

 DFWAE Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 

People feel a sense of belonging when differences are embraced and valued. DFWAE is dedicated to nurturing equality by creating spaces for the voices least heard, providing educational opportunities to grow leaders, instilling a greater understanding of diverse and equitable environments, and expanding opportunities to collaborate with one another to ensure DFWAE is reflective of the larger, richer community of association voices. We commit to raising awareness and cultivating an atmosphere and culture that is inclusive for all.
