For over 75 years the Credit Research Foundation (CRF) has supported Credit Executives in the business-to-business (B2B) world based on two primary principles: (1) provide quality, comprehensive education from “the basics” to the senior credit executive level, and (2) provide an atmosphere that fosters networking with like-minded individuals – the most influential credit and risk management professionals in the industry.
What makes CRF unique? Let’s explore these two primary value points:
Education
Built, guided and delivered by credit professionals, CRF’s innovative educational content and concepts support today’s leaders across multiple industries. This is critical in today’s environment where the pressure to perform in a world of uncertainty impacts the three pillars of our discipline: People, Process and Technology. The topics, concepts and delivery are provided by its members, both practitioners and service providers, who have employee, budget and contract responsibilities. They are invested in supporting the success of credit executives at all levels – today and in the future.
Networking
Access to and interaction with your peer group is the cornerstone of CRF membership. CRF creates the atmosphere, either at our in-person forums or digitally, that encourages knowledge sharing with like-minded credit executives for the advancement of each other’s professional growth. The ongoing support amongst its members is built into the DNA of CRF.
With a CRF Membership, your entire team will benefit with access to our online education courses, in-person Forums, free member webinars, full access to our library of publications, and more. The level of education provided, combined with the networking opportunities, will help you lead your team to success.
