Suggestions for how to use the certification badges?

Julie Hiland · January 2018

Hi everyone,

I just recently received my RE Professional certification!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate the badge into my email signature, or if I should do so at all. It looks odd with my organization logo, and appears to just be thrown in there. Have any of you certified folks had any success using your badge in your email signature? If so, would you mind sharing with me? julie.hiland@piedmont.org

Thanks!

I don't have any suggestions on adding to your signature but wanted to say CONGRATS on your RE Professional Certification!

I just completed my RE Fundamental certification on Dec 31.

I don't currently use it in my signature, although your post has reminded me to do so. I think I'd lean towards using the certification badge rather than the icon - even though the badge is meant for social media rather than email, the "b" icon by itself probably doesn't mean much to most people whereas the badge says "certified" on it, so it still conveys some meaning in the unlikely event that my email recipient has never heard of Blackbaud.

Congrats Julie! I use the icons on my email signature along with the bCRE and bCLO after my name. (address and phone have been removed from image, as if you couldn't just find that information online anyway

)

For those that won't know what the icons mean the icons link to the Blackbaud certification website: https://www.blackbaud.com/nonprofit-training/certification (Why do we still have to add the hyperlink to links on the Community?)

If anyone else shares by emailing Julie directly, please also share here so we can also see what others are doing.

Thanks!
