Board Member Profile
|
|
 Doug Hartjes, CFRE Development Officer
Crisis Assistance Ministry
AFP Charlotte Board President-Elect
How many years have you been in development? Seven years
A little about your current position at Crisis Assistance: My mission is to broaden awareness of Crisis Assistance Ministry and the tremendous need of families in poverty in our community. Whether it is meeting with a donor, speaking to the media, or working on development strategy, I am rewarded daily by the lives we change. Although these are challenging times, we are using the current economic situation as a way to be proactive in our development strategies. For instance, I will be focusing even more on our major gift and planned giving efforts to ensure our agency will meet the incredible increase in demand we are seeing now and will expect to see in the future. I have been fortunate to work with one of the best development teams around, and it's exciting to see the wonderful growth in fundraising we've experienced. Prior to my arrival, Crisis Assistance Ministry raised less than $2 million a year - we're on track to raise over $4 million this year.
How you came to the profession: After 15 years in the corporate world I decided I needed a more fulfilling career. I heard about a development opportunity at Crisis Assistance Ministry and saw a lot of parallels between what I did in the for-profit world and what I would be doing at the agency. My background was sales, marketing, and communications, but I always had a strong passion for helping others. I simply went from being a volunteer to making it my career.
Who do you consider your mentors or most important influence? The two people who have been instrumental in shaping my development mind have been Michael Rose and Karla Williams. Their wisdom and leadership has truly been an inspiration to me. I am also fortunate to have a large network of peers through AFP, both locally and nationally, with whom I can share ideas and best practices.

CFRE Program Receives Distinguished NCCA Accreditation |
4 May 2009 (Alexandria, VA) -- The Certified Fund Raising Executive International Credentialing Board (CFRE International) is proud to announce the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) program has been granted accreditation by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
NCCA, the accrediting arm of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA), grants accreditation to a select group of organizations that demonstrate compliance with the NCCA Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs. The accreditation process includes a comprehensive and independent expert analysis of the certification program against the highest industry standards.
"While CFRE International has always adhered to quality standards in certification, accreditation by NCCA serves as an indicator to the nonprofit sector, our donors, and other stakeholders that the CFRE is a psychometrically sound and legally defensible certification exam. It is a reliable tool for measuring that a fundraising professional has mastered the set of knowledge, skills and abilities to be an effective fundraiser," said Susan Davies Goepp, CFRE, chair of CFRE International's Board of Directors.
