Job Alerts
There is a small fee for listing job openings simultaneously in the newsletter and on the chapter website.
For jobs advertised by organizations with at least one AFP member, the charge is $50 for three months. That charge also applies to organizations with an opening due to the departure of an AFP member. Listings by organizations without an AFP member are $100 for three months.
The listing will be automatically removed after three months, unless there is a renewal. For more information, check the chapter's website or contact the chapter administrator.

Pam Dose: The Pres Says
The Board and committees have been working diligently behind the scenes to provide opportunities for members to network and for new members to become involved.
Thank you to Brandi Moore and her dynamic Program Committee. What a great program in February and there are more excellent speakers lined up. You won't want to miss a month.
Tish Stuart has already done a new member orientation and the membership committee has met and is planning some social activities as well as another orientation to recruit members and keep existing members connected - more "Radical Hospitality!"
And, Marcia Scheideman has already scheduled our first six months of webinars that cover subjects requested by our members.
National Philanthropy Day will be held November 15 - Toni McGee and Steffanie Bonner have the speaker, the location and the date!
I encourage each of you to pick a committee to work on and volunteer! Smaller groups will give you an opportunity to get to know your colleagues better. AFP is your organization - come and let your voice be heard as you help with the planning and implementation of programs, conferences and other activities.
See you March 8 at the Tulsa Garden Center!
Your President,
Pam Dose
P.S. Your board members are listed in the left column, along with their email addresses. They'd welcome visiting with you about committee memberships.

| Our Chapter Earns Prestigious 10-Star Award
The Eastern Oklahoma chapter has been named a 2011 10-Star Chapter by AFP International for its leadership in ethical and organizational standards and professional programming.
Chapters receive the 10-Star Award for increasing professionalism within fundraising and public awareness of the importance of philanthropy.
Of the 213 chapters in AFP, less than half of those earned the 10-Star honor for 2011.
"This 10-Star designation confirms the commitment of our chapter to the promotion of ethical and effective fundraising and excellent programming," said Pam Dose, 2012 chapter president and executive director for Tulsa CASA.
"Our membership serves as an example to other chapters for its dedication to continuing education, professionalism and community advocacy. Congratulations to 2011 Chapter President Janet Gaskins and her exceptional leadership team for achieving this recognition."
The chapter will be recognized at the AFP International Conference April 2012 in Vancouver.
