AMPED is proud to encourage and support staff seeking professional certifications. Here are a few of the certifications held by our staff.

The Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential is the marker of a committed association professional who has demonstrated the wide range of knowledge essential to manage an association in today’s challenging environment.

The ASAE Fellows program is among ASAE’s highest honors, recognizing individuals who have made a significant impact on the association community through exemplary volunteer service and leadership, extraordinary accomplishments, or other major contributions to ASAE and the profession of association management. The ASAE Fellows program is an honorary recognition bestowed on less than 1 percent of ASAE’s membership. It is also a call to continued leadership and service. AMPED is proud to be the home of two ASAE Fellows: Lynda J. Patterson, FASAE, CAE; and Donté P. Shannon, FASAE, CAE.

The Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) program enhances the knowledge and performance of meeting professionals, promotes the status and credibility of the meeting profession and advances uniform standards of practice. A CMP designation shows that an individual is dedicated to the profession and conveys expertise in planning, managing, and executing successful meetings and events.

A nationally-recognized CNAP designation certifies the expertise and commitment of nonprofit financial managers and accounting professionals. The program teaches best practices on critical skills and topics specific to nonprofit organizations, and attendees are able to apply their new knowledge to benefit their organizations right away.
