THE Philippine Council for the Advancement of Association Executives (PCAAE) will next month launch a two-day certification programme to further professionalise the industry.
The programme includes a series of learning courses through which participants accumulate credits counting towards becoming a certified professional association executive.
A Philippine first, the first two interactive courses are open to PCAAE members and non-members and will be held from June 29-30 at Manila Marriott Hotel, where John Peacock, general manager of Association Forum from Australia, will be speaking.
The theme for the first day is The Right Foundation for Association Governance and Management, and the second, Designing Successful Association Membership and Services.
Explained PCAAE president and CEO, Octavio B Peralta: “The certification programme is one of the pillars of PCAAE in its aim to professionalise the management and governance of associations and membership organisations in the country.
“Association governance and management is as much a science as it is an art so the body of knowledge and its practice are there to be learned and shared among the association community.
“Those working in associations and those who will work for such organisations in the future need not reinvent the wheel and start from scratch,” Peralta added.
