FREE Training for Association CEOs! CEO Strategies with Steve Murdock – Wednesday, August 26 (Austin): Thanks to Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau’s sponsorship of this great program, we are excited to announce next week’s CEO strategies will be free to association executive member CEOs and top-level staff.
The session will cover the implications of our changing demographics and how it will impact your association – your members, your mission, and your staff. Join former state demographer Steve Murdock for this half-day seminar and be prepared for the economic and employment impacts of our changing population - information every association CEO needs to know!

New Ideas Annual Conference – Registration Fees Increase in Two Weeks: We are busy gearing up for this year’s New Ideas Annual Conference (September 13-15). I am excited about the experts, education, and experiences we have lined up for San Antonio!

Fall Certified Association Executive (CAE) Study Group: Registration is now open for the Fall CAE study group. Cost is only $150 for TSAE members and you will receive the newly updated study guide, nine (9) weeks of facilitated training by our CAE faculty, handouts, and a sample exam. New this year – we are offering “outside of Austin” candidates to join the study group via audio conference.
You can learn more about CAE qualifications here. Remember, you must have 75 hours of association management continuing education to qualify and that will increase to 100 hours starting with the spring 2010 exam.
TSAE has been offering a CAE study course for over 26 years and our pass rate is very high – sign up today (PDF)!

We are very excited to provide a year-long journey for emerging leaders in the association industry. Look for updates on the Academy to come over the next year in the magazine, at events, in this newsletter, and more!
