Michelle King of Hibiscus Children’s Center Awarded

CFRE International has named Michelle King as a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE). Michelle King, Chief Development Officer for Hibiscus Children's Center, joins over 7,200 professionals around the world who hold the CFRE designation. 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 written examination 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 Michelle King 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 on-going fundraising employment and fundraising results and continue with their professional education.

Matt Markley, Hibiscus Children’s Center CEO, shared “Hibiscus Children’s Center congratulates Michelle on this prestigious designation she has received.  The organization, and especially our children and families, will greatly benefit from her hard work and commitment to excellence in fundraising.  We are fortunate to have Michelle and her talents and dedication on the Hibiscus Team”.
