Trisha M. Blosser RECERTIFIED AS A CERTIFIED
FUND RAISING EXECUTIVE (CFRE) 

Alexandria, VA – CFRE International is proud to announce Trisha M. Blosser has recertified as a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE). Trisha M. Blosser, Director of Advancement, Eastern Mennonite School is one of over 7,700 professionals around the world who hold the CFRE designation. Trisha has held the CFRE certification since 2021.

Individuals granted the CFRE credential have met a series of standards set by CFRE International which include tenure in the profession, education, and demonstrated fundraising achievement. They have also passed a rigorous exam testing the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of a fundraising executive, and have agreed to uphold Accountability Standards and the Donor Bill of Rights.
                     
“The CFRE credential was created to identify for the public and employers those individuals who possess the knowledge, skills, and commitment to perform fundraising duties in an effective and ethical manner,” states CFRE International President and CEO Eva E. Aldrich, Ph.D., CAE, (CFRE 2001-2016). “As the certification is a voluntary achievement, the CFRE certification demonstrates a high level of commitment on the part of Trisha to the fundraising profession and the donors who are served”
                     
CFRE recipients are awarded certification for a three-year period. To maintain certification status, certificants must demonstrate ongoing fundraising employment and fundraising results and continue with their professional education. Employers and donors who work with CFREs know they are getting a professional who is committed to the best outcomes for their organization and has the requisite knowledge and skills.
