Congratulations to the New CAEs
The Association Forum of Chicagoland is
proud to announce that 25 of its members
passed the December 2008 Certified Association Executive exam and were awarded
the CAE designation, joining more than
3,500 industry leaders worldwide. The
CAE designation is administered by
ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership and recognizes those who demonstrate knowledge essential to the practice
of association management. The Forum
offers study groups to help association
professionals prepare for the exam; the
Forum’s recent fall/winter study group
achieved an 82 percent pass rate. For
