My name is Andrea Augot and I am the coordinator of client services with the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association-NL (CHHA-NL) which is an association that “strives to create a barrier-free community for people with hearing loss.”

I have received my Certified Association Executives (CAE) designation from CSAE. The CAE program and CSAE provided me with valuable educational resources that support professionals in today’s non-profit sector. Since I joined CSAE, I have brought tools and resources to my current position which positively impacts our clients and CHHA-NL.

The CSAE community is an excellent network of professionals with a wealth of knowledge eager to share and support each other. I am proud to be a member of CSAE. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
