The CAE accreditation has been developed in Canada by AuSAE’s partner society, the Canadian Society of Association Executives.

The program consists of five twelve-week modules which can be undertaken remotely, using an internet form, texts and assignments. Within the program, students cover the 40 ‘competencies’ expected in a well-rounded association executive.

The next CAE term commences 18 April 2011.

The ASI SMART Company Scholarship Fund was established in 2006 to encourage the professional education of individuals working in the not-for-profit sector and provides financial assistance in the form of scholarships and education subsidies up to $25,000.

ASI is the largest privately-owned global provider of web-based software for member and donor-based not-for-profits.
