We get back into the swing of things, we took September to talk about a topic that affects everyone: careers. While this year has been a rollercoaster for many and their careers, it is also an opportune time to take a look at where we have taken our career journeys, reflect on what we have...
In what we might consider a "normal" year, July is usually a time where TheCR Network quiets down a bit and we engage some lighter summer (for us in the northern hemisphere) programming. But because 2020 has been anything but normal, we have introduced a bit of levity to our programming, but we...

Communities are built upon, with, and for the people they serve. Because of that fundamental fact, we've decided to focus on People-First Initiatives during the month of February in TheCR Network. For the month of February, we'll be hearing from people who have employed specific...
December in TheCR Network usually means a slow decline in activity until the holidays and the end of the year. Because we know many members go on vacation or have priorities shift, we wanted to focus our monthly theme on something more reflective, that allowed us to both hear from others'...
