Introduction
I'm fairly new here but I just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I'm proud of my accomplishments, eventhough I've only worked in Raiser's Edge and Luminate for less than a year I was able to obtain three certificates. Raiser's Edge Fundamentals, Luminate Online Fundamentals and now I'm a certified Raiser's Edge Professional as of today. I haven't utilized all of the tools Raiser's Edge has to offer in a work setting as of yet but I'm open to learning more and refining my craft. I like to view discussions on here and I'm open to all tips and suggestions.
