Congratulations to the vast majority of ISAE members that have
already renewed their membership for 2007. Thank you for renewing
your investment in ISAE!
If you just received another dues notice let us help you in two
ways. First, give us a call at 317-328-4569 to save time by paying
your dues with a credit card. One call and an important "TO DO" is
off your list this week. Second, just to remind you, here are 10
reasons why YOU should continue to invest in ISAE:
1. Find SOLUTIONS
Luncheons and workshops
bring association professionals together to network, to learn from
each other and to be inspired by what's new in the field.
2. Work SMARTER
ISAE membership can give you
a running start on any new project or problem to be solved. Our
members have been there, done that, and even have the CD.
3. Refine your SKILLS
Our executive
education series and annual conference feature some of the
profession's most recognized experts. They'll keep you up-to-date on
trends, philosophies and programs.
4. Earn the CAE credential
Peer study groups
cover various domains in the CAE exam so you'll be prepared and
successful. Keep up that certification by earning continuing
education credits from ISAE's convenient programs and seminars in
Indiana.
5. ASSOCIATE with the best
The ISAE STAR
Awards recognize the best of the best in association programs and
individual achievements.
6. Get your skills RECOGNIZED
Help your
peers understand a new process by presenting a program on what
you've discovered works. Or put your skills to work with ISAE
committees and task forces, or write an opinion piece for ISAE
publication.
7. GIVE BACK to your profession
Join with
colleagues who monitor legislation that affects the conditions and
standards under which associations and non-profit organizations
operate.
8. Enjoy the CAMRADERIE of professional
peers
Maybe you just want to kick-back, de-stress and
have some fun with friends. ISAE events provide opportunities for
doing just that.
9. DISCOVER what suits you
Whatever your
needs, there's something here for you: on-line learning, small group
idea sharing, programs featuring the profession's most recognized
experts, electronic communication that is timely and
informative
10. SAVE time & money
ISAE is a
centralized source of information that may save you time in
searching for answers to certain questions. And the new TelSpan
affinity program will save you money on audio and web
conferencing.
If you know someone who is not a current member of ISAE, tell

Are you interested in becoming a Certified Association Executive
(CAE)? If so, the next test date is Friday, May 4, 2007. The
deadline to submit an application for the exam is quickly
approaching. You must have your application in by Friday, February
9, 2007. You may extend the deadline, with an additional fee of
$100, to Friday, March 9, 2007. The exam fee is $500 for ASAE
members and $700 for non-members.
Why should you become certified? ASAE answers this question on
their website as follows:
Becoming a Certified Association Executive shows your
commitment to the association profession. As a CAE you commit
yourself to lifelong learning and an ongoing pursuit of knowledge
in the profession. Among association leaders, the CAE designation
has become known and appreciated as a mark of distinction that
offers a wide range of benefits.Individuals pursue the CAE for a
variety of reasons, including professional development, career
planning and professional pride, dedication to their career, a
personal belief in the association profession, and
self-fulfillment.
Be sure to let ISAE staff know if you are sitting for the exam.
For those interested, we provide study sessions and mentors closer
to the exam date.
Join ISAE members Robin Brown, CAE; Kevin Mayeux, CAE; Scott
Wiley, CAE and Leslie Murphy, CAE at ASAE's annual Legislative
Fly-in on March 21-22, 2007. For those of you unfamiliar with the
Fly-in, association executives from around the country gather in
Washington, D.C. to learn about the best grassroots practices and
meet with members of Congress to educate everyone on the value of
associations to society. This year, conversations on associations'
contributions to society through charitable work and the economic
benefits of association conventions and meetings will take place. In
order to have representatives from each state, there are
scholarships available through ASAE. If you would like more
information or are ready to apply, please contact Robert Hay at rhay@asaecenter.org. The
scholarships make the event free and your transportation and lodging
costs could be subsidized by up to $300.
You should receive your copy of the 2007 ISAE professional
development schedule via U.S. Mail in the next few weeks. To view it
electronically, please click on the link. This information is
available online at http://www.isae.org/ISAE_Edu_Prog_Broch.pdf.
This year, the Professional Development Task Force agreed on the
importance of focusing on the ASAE's Job Analysis results as the
basis for ISAE education initiatives. The analysis included a survey
of hundreds of association professionals on the scope of their work.
The results changed the CAE exam to ten domains of knowledge
including: Strategic Management; Planning and Research; Leadership;
Administration; Knowledge Management; Governance and Structure;
Public Policy and Government and External Relations; Membership;
Programs, Products and Services; and Public Relations and External
Communications. Each of ISAE's programs for 2007 fit within one of
these domains. More than 40 CAE hours can be obtained through ISAE
programs this year. These hours can be used when applying for or
renewing the CAE designation. In addition, programs have been
aligned with levels of experience: Introductory, Intermediate, and
Advanced. This will allow our members to decide if the program is
designed for them or what additional staff could benefit.
New for 2007 - Discounted rates are also
available if you purchase a "ticket" to all of the
luncheons prior to February 23. Please click on the following link
to proceed in registering.
We hope you like the new professional development program and we
look forward to seeing you at our 2007 events.
Watch your e-mail and the ISAE Web site for more information on
the CAE/CEO breakfast on February 21st, 2007. The topic will be
"Benefits that make your employees want to stay.at prices you can
afford."
ISAE welcomed close to 250 members and colleagues to the January
10th ISAE Legislative Luncheon. This year's lively discussion
