Professional Development and Events

ESSAE offers educational seminars several times a year which focus on timely issues and trends affecting associations and the daily work-lives of the executive. ESSAE members freely share their experiences and expertise with fellow members so you don’t have to “reinvent the wheel.” In addition to these educational programs, ESSAE offers its members the opportunity to establish both a personal and professional relationship through many social events such as:

• Annual Membership Meeting
• Meetings, Membership & Marketing (The Triple M)
• Harvest Highlight
• Webinars & E-Learning
• Association Leadership Academy
• Annual Conference & Trade Show
• Holiday Celebration
• Calendar
• CAE & CMP

Every educational program sponsored by ESSAE is eligible (subject to ASAE approval) to offer credits toward achieving your Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation. In addition, a regular study group for CAE candidates convenes as needed to prepare for annual CAE examinations.

ESSAE’s staff, board, and volunteer committees have continued to meet regularly to develop the best ways to serve our members. Our top priority for the future is to support you in staying connected and provide practical resources that will help you and your business thrive. 

Personal connection is more important now than ever, and we will continue to be the place for you to meet and network with colleagues from around New York State.
