Strategic Planning presentation 
with guest speaker Steven Dennis
 
Strategic Planning...What is it Really???
Mr. Dennis will address the primary goals of Strategic Planning, including how to instill a sustainable planning discipline and create a framework for annual planning that will result in measurable objectives for your organization. He will also demonstrate the "big rocks" approach to goal setting.

We hope you will join us for a lively, interactive, information-packed morning. Refreshments will be served.

2016 Mentorship Program

Our AFP Monterey Bay Chapter offers members an exciting opportunity to transform their fundraising  careers through its Mentorship Program.

The Mentorship Program formalizes a mentoring relationship in a structured program that offers four
group workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions committed to meeting your personal and career goals.

Our Mentors provide their mentees with an experienced friend who is there to help in any number of  situations. 
And mentees provide fresh ideas and coaching opportunities for someone looking to sharpen  their professional tools.



"I have truly grown as a fundraising and development professional in a short period of time. My mentor was spectacular and I can't thank her enough for sharing her wisdom and time with me. - 
2015 Mentee
