 FSAE's New Qualified Association Specialist Program |
"I highly recommend the Qualified Association Specialist program to anyone in association management. Originally, I thought that the course would be perfect for our staff level employees that weren't familiar with associations or that we needed to cross train on other program areas. However, when I went through it, I found that the education content would help anyone better understand the principles of association management. I have seen other programs that teach the same concepts but they were well over $1,000. This program provided even more in terms of association principles, but for a price point that any association can afford. Top notch program!"
- Rachel Luoma, FSAE Education Committee Chair

FSAEs Qualified Association Specialist (QAS) Certificate Program is a brand new, affordable educational program for professionals in the association industry. This online training program provides a broad base view of the principles in association management. The QAS Certificate Program helps all staff connect how various association functions/departments work together.
The program gathers seasoned experts from around the country to present a comprehensive overview of the many facets of working in or with an association - from the legal and financial "business model" of associations' unique governance/volunteer structure, to understanding the key principles of membership, communications, events, social media/communities, non-dues revenue programs, public policy and data management. These industry leaders share their knowledge with you through 12 online modules, approximately an hour each to fully prepare you for your career in association management.
