Dana Glazier Earns CAE

Coppell, TX--The International Association of Assembly Managers, Inc. is pleased to announce that Director of Education, Dana Glazier, has earned the designation of Certified Association Executive.

"Earning the Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation has been on my radar since I started my career in the association profession. I have grown a lot personally and professionally through the meticulous process of obtaining the designation and I look forward to translating the education accumulated into member value at IAAM. I am appreciative for the support of my current and previous bosses, Dexter King, CFE and Don Hancock, CAE. Their encouragement was invaluable during this process," said Glazier.

According to the American Society of Association Executives, the CAE is the highest professional credential in the association industry. Less than five percent of all association professionals have earned the CAE. It is a rigorous program that requires an individual to have a minimum of 3 years experience in nonprofit organizational management, as well as, complete a minimum of 75 hours of specialized professional development, pass a stringent examination in association management and pledge to uphold a code of ethics.

IAAM Executive Director, Dexter King, CFE, said “We could not be more pleased on the recent accomplishment of Dana receiving her CAE. We always encourage professional growth at World Headquarters and to see a staff member obtain a goal such as this, is magnificent. This is more than just a personal victory, for Dana, as an association, we all benefit from her knowledge. We look forward to many more success stories."

In 2001, Glazier was hired by IAAM as the Resource Center Coordinator to provide research, reference and referral services to the members. She is now the Director of Education and is responsible for the educational content of the Annual and Venue specific conferences, Certified Facilities Executive (CFE) Program, Public Assembly Facility Management School and Graduate Institute at Oglebay, and the Senior Executive Symposium. Glazier earned her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Texas in Arlington and her Master of Library Studies from Texas Woman’s University.
