I do own the ICRM group and have permission to use the logo. The group is
open only to those individuals who hold the designation. I verify against
the ICRM registry.

I'm guilty of the badge collecting, but it has been fruitful. you can hide
groups you belong to if you want.

I have a brother who works in the securities industry. His employer is
searching through LinkedIn for employees who have listed the company. They
are slowly developing a policy on how employees can use LinkedIn and what
they can say in their profile.

 that's easy. Mimi is in 3 times because she signed up using 3 different
email addresses. My recommendation is to set up your linkedin account using
a non-business email address. Remember notifications and messages from
linkedin come to you via the email address you are registered under. If you
leave an employer you'll have to start all over again unless you have added
additional email addresses to your profile.
 LInkedIN recommends "Adding an email address is useful if you expect to be
invited to connect at more than one address. *We recommend that you add both
a personal and work email address."

*
To do that just log into your account and select Account and settings at the
top of the page. then under Personal information select email addresses,
just follow the instructions. This is also where you can delete an account.
