An Affordable Educational Program on the Principles of Association Management

QAS 2.0 has gathered seasoned experts to present a 13-module comprehensive overview of the 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, marketing and communications, events, social media, non-dues revenue programs, public policy and data management.

“Silos” are a challenge for associations. Staff members are typically only knowledgeable in their area of the workplace: membership knows membership, meetings know meetings, finance knows finance, etc. QAS 2.0 provides a working knowledge of every aspect of running an association, creating more valuable team members for your organization.

QAS 2.0 is an affordable, on-demand certificate program – available 24/7 for users to advance at their own pace, in their own time. Participants have 6 months from purchase to complete the program and earn 13 hours of continued education credit towards a CAE* certification or renewal. (13 Hours CAE Expected)
