Everyday Issues & How We Face Ethical Dilemmas
Lynn Flinn, March AFP Eastern OK luncheon speaker
Every person, on a daily basis, faces ethical dilemmas. This session will help you learn how to determine your personal ethical style, while providing key takeaways that will help you avoid ethical mistakes and better decision making strategies.
The information presented will help ensure that you stay on a good ethical path and avoid ethical pitfalls. Including interactive case studies, table topics and valuable information, this is one presentation that you can't afford to miss!
1. Is it ever ok for an upper-level manager to say they will take responsibility for your actions?
2. When should a fundraiser go to the board to express concerns?
3. Survival tips for fundraisers who have to stay in a permanent or temporary position at a company that compromises ethics.
"Ethics in fundraising is critical because not only does it impact the organization, but also the benefactors and the recipients of the goods and services of the organization are deeply affected. If a fundraiser's ethics are questioned, it can create devastating consequences for all involved."
- Lynn Flinn, CPA, President & Managing Partner of The Rowland Group

Nonprofit Fundraising Strategy: A Guide to Ethical Decision Making and Regulation for Nonprofit Organizations by Janice Gow Pettey
In AFP we are constantly learning how to be great fundraisers through our educational programming, research, and day-to-day experience.
We also commit to following AFP's Code of Ethics each year, and we may even have a printed copy in our office, but where do we turn for guidance when faced with an ethical dilemma?
Nonprofit Fundraising Strategy: A Guide to Ethical Decision Making and Regulation for Nonprofit Organizations by Janice Gow Pettey is an excellent resource to have, as it provides case studies on specific ethical dilemmas in many different kinds of nonprofit organizations.
