It will teach you organizational leadership skills, help you understand the ins and outs of financials and how they affect your association (and the operations of your members), teach you to empower your entire team, help you identify your right markets and streamline ways to better serve them, and so much more!

Built for the busy professional, and keeping in mind that you are working full-time, the program is completely virtual and optimized for the modern learner. It’s no secret that eLearning is the most efficient way to learn, providing an easy anywhere, anytime accessible learning experience.

By the end of this course you will have the skills, knowledge, and resources you need to be more successful so let the world know it! Upon completion of this program, you will receive the AE-MBA Certificate of Completion as a digital badge for LinkedIn & professional credentials. Along with the certificate, you will have the opportunity to gain up to 10 CAE credits between the self-paced eLearning and the live group sessions.
