ISHA and ARDA are pleased to provide this professional development opportunity to ISHA members. The Certified Association Executive (CAE) program is designed to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance, and designate association professionals who demonstrate the knowledge essential to the practice of association management. The CAE is the highest certification for the association industry. ISHA now offers you the opportunity to go for the gold and earn your CAE certification! Your exam fee will be paid in full by ISHA/ARDA Scholarship Fund.

  • Applicants should have been an ISHA member for at least a year prior to eligibility. (2023 applicants must have been an ISHA member prior to September 30, 2022).
  • Applicants must submit a letter stating their intent to the commitment and maintenance of the CAE certification.
  • Applicants should be willing to give back by mentoring future CAE candidates during their preparation for the test.
