President's Message
Dear Members and Friends,
The fall season has begun. Your Greater Dallas Chapter has a full schedule of programs and events planned for the next three months.
Mark your calendar for our next monthly program, Wednesday, September 28th. We are honored to have
Laura Fredricks as our speaker. Laura is a renowned speaker and author throughout the United States in philanthropic circles. She is a favorite speaker at the AFP international Conference and her programs are always standing room only. We expect this program to sell out quickly, so
make your reservations early.
Also, Laura will present an
Executive Conversations program on the evening of September 27th. Executive Conversations are members-only programs for veteran professionals who hold executive positions with their organizations, and/or have 10 years experience. Seating is limited to 30. Again, don't wait to make your
reservations!
Now is the time when our chapter leadership starts planning for next year. If you are interested in participating in a leadership role and would like to nominate yourself to serve on the 2017 Board of Directors please contact Diana Marquis, Nominations Chair, at
[email protected].
Don't forget to post your nonprofit's job opportunities on the chapter's
Job Bank. Also, it's a great resource for anyone looking for a new position.
Continue to watch your inbox for announcements and updates on programs and events throughout the fall.
Hope to see you soon,
Judy Wright, President
Greater Dallas Chapter AFP
