PRESIDENT'S LETTER
The Association of Fundraising Professionals is an organization that has made a great impact on my career and my life. I came to AFP having done some "accidental" fundraising, but really pretty ignorant of the work. Through the programs, conferences, web conferences and mentoring offered by AFP, I have most certainly grown in my understanding and knowledge. Associating with professional fundraisers and learning from the best has transformed me from an amateur to a professional. Please know that I am fully aware of all that I have yet to learn to master my craft. I am simply saying that I am grateful to AFP, and to many of you, for the help I have received in this process.
Because of this, and because of the love I have for this profession, I am happy to make a gift to the AFP Every Member Campaign. This is our annual fund. AFP encourages every member to make a contribution to the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy. The Foundation uses the contributions to further the causes of philanthropy in a variety of ways. It provides funds to secure some of the greatest speakers on philanthropy at the AFP International Conference each year; grants for research projects related to philanthropy, funds for scholarships for a variety of meetings, workshops and training; awards to local chapters to further educational programming opportunities; and many other worthwhile projects and activities. In a very real sense, when I say that I am indebted to AFP for my understanding of fundraising, I am really saying that I am indebted to the AFP Foundation and the Every Member Campaign. So I ask you to support this important fund with a gift. It is certainly not my place to suggest the size of your gift, but I do hope that each and every one of our chapter members will recognize the importance of this campaign, and that all of us will have a part. You can find additional information about the campaign on the International website. Gifts posted by AFP by December 31st will be counted toward our $6,200 chapter goal. I also want to thank Sue Bailey, our EMC Chair, for her efforts to encourage us.
Thanks for your support of our chapter and the Every Member Campaign!
Larry Wickham, CFRE, CSPG
President
