Scholarship Opportunities
CAE Leadership Development Scholarship Fund
Do you need assistance paying for costs associated with preparing for the CAE exam? Consider applying for a CAE schol-arship from the Association Executives Council.
The Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation has become the pinnacle to strive for among Association Executives nationwide. Administered by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), the CAE designation demonstrates to yourself and your peers that you are committed to the profession and have a mastery of the principles of the job. In addi-tion, if you are, or aspire to become, the chief staff executive within your association, the CAE serves to not only better prepare you for the responsibilities of the job, but to also confirm to those making the promotion/hiring decisions that you are serious about your career.
AEC Spectrum Scholarship Fund
The AEC began holding the Spectrum Conference in 1990. The conference seminars and group networking are designed to enhance the knowledge and professionalism of the PHCC executive at the local and state level.
AEC sponsors and awards scholarships to aid with travel expenses associated with attending the conference. The awards are based on the applicant’s financial need. The recipient must submit receipts for all travel related expenses including airfare, hotel and airport transportation to receive reimbursement.
AEC CONNECT Scholarship Fund
PHCC National hosts the annual CONNECT as an opportunity for PHCC members from across the country to participate in educational sessions, local industry experiences, and a premier trade show.
AEC hosts our Annual Meeting and other activities for executives attending the conference. In addition to sharing the CONNECT experience with your members, you have the opportunity to continue your own professional development as a chapter executive or staff.
