Every Member Campaign |
Dear AFP Members,
Later this year, you will be receiving a telephone solicitation from AFP International for the 2009 Every Member Campaign (EMC). I hope that you will join with me and 100% of the AFP Charlotte Board of Directors to support our international organization in this worthy endeavor. We would love to make the name of the campaign - every member - a reality.
Your support not only helps AFP International, it helps our chapter underwrite important initiatives like the Chamberlain Scholarship, which provides financial assistance for a member to attend the AFP International Conference.
We take pride in the fact that AFP Charlotte is increasingly becoming recognized, not only as the "go to" source to help those in development work smarter, but also by the larger community.
It's easy to contribute - click here to quickly fill out your form.
Make sure you designate your gift in support of the Every Member Campaign. Thanks in advance for your support, and as always, if you have any questions, contact me at 704-370-3371 or via email.
Armen S. Boyajian
Chair, Every Member Campaign |
