Recognizing outstanding professional achievement

Wendy Gerbrandt, Community Economic Development Coordinator Community Futures Wild Rose (AB)

Wendy is the first person in western Canada to have received Professional Designation certifica-tion in Community Economic Development. She had already received a CED certificate through SAIT. Wendy says the CFLI certification process gave her a chance to demonstrate her specific knowledge and experience in the world of Community Futures. “CFLI covers things that you are already doing on a day to day basis,” she said. “This is an opportunity to get them recognized.”

Chantale Hache, Business Analyst Community Futures Wild Rose (AB)

Chantale received both her Basic and Professional Designation certification as a Business Analyst for Community Futures Wild Rose in Alberta. “The CFLI certification process is great,” she says. “I love the way it recognizes our work experience while providing a blend of education and practical application at the same time.” Chantale says the courses rounded out the knowledge she had al-ready gained on the job, gave her new insights, and changed her perspective.

Melissa Bright, Business Analyst Northwest Community Futures (SK)

Melissa received both her Basic and Professional Designation certification as the Administrative Coordinator for Northwest Community Futures in Saskatchewan before becoming the Business Analyst there. She says that the certification process allowed her to demonstrate that she was committed to the job, and met all the core competencies. “It gave me a sense of achievement to see where I excelled and where I needed improvement,” she said. “It made me want to keep going.”
