ASAE recently published an article by Samantha Whitehorn on “binge learning” – watching educational programs online to “indulge an interest” similar to staying up too late watching Netflix. (Currently Hester is hooked on Dexter and I am a glutton for punishment with round two of all 70+ hours of Battlestar Galatica.)
The article states that online education can be thought of as your own personal tutor for things you want to learn more about – one that can quench your curiosity no matter where you’re starting.
This is certainly true for FSAE’s new online educational program: Qualified Association Specialist. The 12 self-paced modules cover every area of association management and can help anyone from new hires & volunteers just starting out in the organization, to experienced CAEs who want a refresher course on best practices. Once you purchase the program you have a calendar year to complete it.
But we’ve had a few participants finish in just a few weeks with several A-HA moments that kept them coming back for more.
Here’s what one recent graduate has to say:
“The Qualified Association Specialist (QAS) program is an excellent professional development opportunity for anyone in association management. Even after two years in the field and a wealth of knowledge from other professional development activities, the 12 modules in the QAS program offered validation of the work I already do and new insight to areas I can improve. Each lesson always gave me at least one “A-HA” moment that I was able to apply in my daily work immediately. I recommend this program to anyone in association management. It is a great value for FSAE members and an even better value for associations to provide for their staff.”
- Richard Brown, Florida Network of Arts Administrators
Whether you’re interested in professional development for yourself or looking for an easy way to train new staff and volunteers, the Qualified Association Specialist program can be that association management personal tutor you’ve been looking for!
