Rogue Tulips Consulting, through its education arm, The 501c League, is proud to be a leader in CAE education and development. While we can’t guarantee you will pass the exam, we CAN guarantee we will be there for you throughout your CAE Journey and beyond.
This fall we will be back with study groups, courses, practice exams, and coaching for CAE Candidates and current CAEs!
CAE Study Groups | The 501c League is organizing study groups with experienced nonprofit professionals as study group mentors.

CAE hours = 12 for real time attendance/participation.

For those current CAEs seeking renewal credits, we have courses for you too:
CAE Refresh | This course is designed for current Certified Association Executives (CAEs) to refresh their knowledge of the 8 Domains of Practice, a review of the new edition of the ASAE Professional Practices in Association Management (PPAM) text (THE textbook for CAEs), and critical thinking and analytical skills that continue to support us throughout our careers.

The Failed CEO: Lessons from Misadventures in the C-Suite | Thursday, September 22, 2022 | 9:00 am-10:00 am Eastern time | Fee = $45.00 | Many of us aspire to be in the “big chair” but those who haven’t been there don’t realize the many pitfalls, obstacles, and negative tensions that await in the CSE position. Two former CSEs share the not so glamorous side of the C-Suite including what they learned from their failures, doing damage control after mistakes, and dealing with those who don’t support our success. Resilience is important in this position, but the most important lesson is that the CSE (usually) stands alone. We all “talk about failure” but no one REALLY talks about failure. If you are brave enough to walk on the dark side of the C-Suite, join us for a gloves-off discussion of what you really face in the big chair. One (1) CAE Credit – Domain 2 Executive Leadership
