A LinkedIn user recently posed a question:
What do you think about the professional designations in philanthropy?
There are a number of professional designations vying for attention in philanthropy (e.g. CAP, CFRE, CSPG), but are they any good? Do they teach the right things? Do they convey credibility? Is a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy better than a Certified Fund Raising Executive or a Certified Specialist in Planned Giving? Why?
How would you answer this question? Read responses from others and post your own at LinkedIn.
