President's Message
March 2016
|
As we all stare out our office windows wishing for a day to play outside in the beautiful weather, don't forget the amazing work we are each doing as fundraisers in our community.
Networking, mentoring and learning from each other is what keeps many of us coming back meeting after meeting. It's what makes our chapter special. From our
revamped mentoring offering to our March meeting focused on networking and table topics important to our members, I challenge each of you to utilize those you meet in AFP to help you grow in the profession. Whether you are new to the profession or you've been around for a few years, we can all learn from each other.
Also in March, our members have the opportunity to participate in an AFP Webinar for $10 at CNM Connect - Fort Worth. Five Simple Strategies to Boost Donor Retention will be held Tuesday, March 29. To register,

Our chapter continues to strive, and we can't do what we do without each of you! Thank you for your dedication and participation in our chapter.
I look forward to seeing each of you on Monday, March 14, at the Fort Worth Club.
