In order to better streamline our certification process, we are in the process of onboarding Litmos, a learning management system. Initially, we will be piloting this system with our CRM Teacher Training program and then will expand to TRM and other interesting courses. Stay tuned!

We have recently onboarded an automated grant assistant, Instrumentl. Through this online platform, we will more efficiently be able to identify potential funding sources across governmental, private, corporate and state levels, which in turn, will benefit our operational and programmatic activities. 

TRI is returning to the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship. While Executive Director, Elaine Miller Karas, will be attending the Forum, Associate Executive Director, Michael Sapp, and Program Manager, Nick Skenderian, will be attending Marmalade, a series of workshops focusing on exploring place-based approaches to social change.

Elaine Miller-Karas has been invited to present at the Juconi International Congress in October of 2018 and March 2019. The presentation in October will be held in Puebla, Mexico, while the presentation in March will be held in Tanzania.

January 2018 has already been a busy month. Elaine Miller-Karas led a training team to Mexico City, Mexico, in response to last year's devastating earthquake, which heavily affected communities in Mexico City, Puebla and other surrounding states. She also traveled to Oakland, CA, where she was a plenary speaker at the "Preparing People for Climate Change in California" conference sponsored by the International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC) -- TRI is a founding member of ITRC. Jennifer Burton led a training team to Turlock, CA, to provide a CRM Teacher Training to employees of Aspiranet.
