The Certified Sports Event Executive (CSEE) Program is a continuing education program open only to NASC Members.   The CSEE program provides participants with up-to-date, useful knowledge on an array of topics that are meant to increase your productivity, efficiency and effectiveness in your job.  At the completion of the program, each participant receives the CSEE designation. The CSEE Program has been an extremely useful tool in my career, and I am a proud graduate.

I have beenin the Sports Industry for 13 years, and I owe a large thank you to the NASC and its CSEE Program.  The CSEE Program has kept me updated on key issues and topics that are directly related to this career.  Although, I have worked in many different areas of the Sports Industry: Collegiate Athletic Department  (Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas), Event Rights Holder (NAIA), Sports Commission (Olathe, Kansas Sports Commission) and now a Convention and Visitors Bureau (Bryan-College Station, Texas), I have relied on the knowledge I have gained from CSEE in each career move.

Perhaps one of the most noticeable effects I have experienced by obtaining my CSEE has been in my current position at the Bryan-College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau.  Once I had completed the CSEE program, I began to see that I was more respected in the industry, community and by my supervisor.  In fact, I was promoted from the Director of Sports to the Director of Sales-Sports & Conventions.  I am now responsible for both the sports market and conventions market for the bureau.  I contribute this success to CSEE and use the education I have received through the program to achieve my career goals every day.  Also, participants of the program are so tight knit that I know I can contact any one of the CSEE graduates or program participants to get best practices and useful ideas when I need assistance.  If you are wondering if the CSEE Program would be a good investment for you or your current place of business…my answer is a resounding YES!!!
