CNM is teaming up with the local Association of Fundraising Professionals to double the number of tested, certified, and CFRE recognized fundraisers to 40 by the end of 2013. Reaching this goal will help Middle Tennessee nonprofits find well-trained professional fundraisers and development officers.

If you have development officers who are not CFRE credentialed, ask them to join CNM on Tuesday, May 22 at 4:30 p.m. to learn more about this initiative and how fundraisers can prepare for and take the CFRE exam. Mentors will be available throughout the process to help guide the participants.

This is the first community initiative of its kind in the country. If you want to learn more about how you can be a part of it and to RSVP for May 22′s session, please contact Susannah Shumate at Susannah.Shumate@NashvilleHA.org or Lewis Lavine at lewis@cnm.org.
