CE Summary (Renewals)
Online CE Form (requires login)

At AzSAE, we understand how challenging it can be at renewal time to remember all the educational programs you have attended, plus how time-consuming it is creating the listing of the activities for your CAE Renewal Application. That's why we have created a personal CE summary of the AzSAE programs you have attended in the past three years...It is in a suitable format to be included with your renewal application.   Personal CE summaries are e-mailed in early October to AzSAE CAE members.  But wait, there's more! Any Non-AzSAE programs you have attended and that have been entered by September 15 via the online form will also be included in the CE Summary.    For more information on this Members Only Benefit – contact Marie in the AzSAE office.
 
Note: The CAE program is administered by ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership.  AzSAE does not "approve" programs for credit.

*This date is set by ASAE – it is typically on the 2nd Friday; however it is subject to change without notice.
