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

Letter from the President
Spring is in bloom (or so my allergies keep reminding me!) and we are rolling out some great programs for our chapter - be sure to register for the oh-so-practical course on planned giving on April 21!
We are also well into planning the Summer Fundraising Summit on June 21 with a line-up of presenters and topics that are sure to sharpen your skills and put some new tools in your belt.
If you'd like to take advantage of a one-on-one opportunity for professional development, please check out our Mentoring Program which is accepting applications now!
I'm also very proud to announce that our chapter has once again received the Ten Star Award from AFP International, a distinction that only a third of all chapters earn for achieving specific goals that serve our members and further the professionalism of our industry.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, questions, concerns or comments about AFPMB, please drop me note at [email protected].
Cheers,
Andrea Scott,
CFRE President,
AFP Monterey Bay
