Greater Dallas Chapter AFP
Educational Luncheon Program
Wednesday, January 31, 2018, 11:30 AM to 1 PM
"How to Tell Your Story and Increase Giving Power"
Every organization has a unique story to tell, but in the age of social media, 24-hour news and crowdfunding, are you telling your story in a way that will maximize giving power? Paul Dunne, CFRE, and Bryan Peterson will share real-life examples of powerful nonprofit messaging, strategy and design platforms that have produced results and provide practical ideas for how your organization can uncover elements of your story that can empower staff, trustees and volunteers and unleash growth opportunities in fundraising.
After a successful business career, Paul Dunne, CFRE, joined the nonprofit sector as a Senior Development Officer for the Denver Rescue Mission. He furthered his career serving as Executive Director of Development for the Inner City Health Center, and working with the North Hawaii Community Hospital and Ability Beyond Disability. He then served as Vice President for Development at his alma mater, Howard Payne University in Texas. He currently serves on the AFP International Board and Greater Dallas Chapter board of directors. Paul started his own consulting firm, ThinkPadSolutions, in 2016.
Bryan Peterson is the Founder and Creative Lead for Peterson Ray and Company, an visual communications design firm. His work has been recognized nationally for achievements in corporate and college communications, and has appeared regularly in leading design publications. His best-selling book, Design Basics for Creative Results, is a design textbook used by college campuses across the nation.
Online registration closes on January 24th at 10 PM or when space sells out, whichever comes first.
After that date, register by fax, mail or email using the
