To gain the accreditation, team member Lynn Stimpson took a series of training modules and exams aimed at ensuring proficiency in understanding and using Blackbaud’s products. The Blackbaud Consultancy Partner accreditation represents this proficiency. ## Advertisement Lynn Stimpson, BTA Development Manager said: > “The Blackbaud Partner Network is a group of leading fundraising, technology and > services firms providing non-profits with the solutions, applications and strategies > they need to make a difference in their local communities and worldwide.
