Celebrating getting my Raiser's Edge Professional Certification

Options
Happy day!  After putting a push on taking badge courses and exams since early Spring of this year, I passed the professional certification exam today. I feel a real sense of accomplishment. I'm fortunate -- and very grateful -- for two things:  1) that my organization, Hospice of the Chesapeake, has a "Learn More" training subscription that covers all the course and test costs, and 2) that over the years, while doing my job, I've had help and encouragment from a great Blackbaud consultant, Paula Kern. She's helped get me up the learning curve faster (and with less angst).


It takes a village!

    Deborah,


    Congratulations! Earning your badges and Raiser's Edge Professional Certification is a great accomplishment and deserves a celebration! I can't wait to add your name to the list of Raiser's Edge Professionally Certified users when I write the celebration blog post for the month of September. 


    Congratulations again!

    Melissa 

  • Hooray for you! Someday you will be a Master -- when they come out with the Master certification. ;)

  • That's my plan, Faith!  I must admit I enjoy this whole process much more than I ever would have expected.  I'm 63 and still soaking stuff up like a sponge.  I swear RE is keeping me young.  Ha! Ha!
