President's Message - Deb Wilson, 2010 CRD President
Welcome to the Council for Resource Development! We would like to invite you to learn more about CRD and our members by exploring this website. CRD is a positive, collaborative organization consisting of dedicated members and volunteers all of whom have expertise in the field of development. The best part of CRD is the membership’s willingness to share success, ideas, programs, and even failures in order that we all grow as development officers.
This website is a great place for members to find the most up-to-date information available in our field. And for those professionals who may not yet be members it is a great place to start to learn how CRD can enhance your knowledge base and, how you can share your expertise with CRD and our members. Grants professionals, Foundation leadership, development officers, and Presidents are all willing to share by providing documents and best practices from their shops. You have heard of social networking? Well the CRD website is a great way to stay in touch with your colleagues by accessing our on-line membership directory. Find out who is in your region or in your profession with the click of a button!
CRD is committed to renewing our structure and our spirit. Over the course of the next year, a new governance structure will emerge that will lead CRD confidently into the future. We invite you to participate in this process by staying abreast of the most current updates available through this website. Information on webinars, educational programming, and special offers will be available!
Again, welcome to CRD! We look forward to learning with you!
