TSAE Welcomes New CAEs

TSAE would like to congratulate the 11 TSAE members who recently earned their Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential. They were part of a group 110 professionals, including 11 Texans, to pass the CAE exam administered this past May.

TSAE will recognize these members this September at the New Ideas Annual Conference in Dallas.

The CAE Program serves to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance, and designate those who have acquired and have demonstrated knowledge essential to the practice of association management.

There are currently 170 CAEs in the TSAE membership.
