PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Greater Dallas AFP Members,
Here we are in the middle of the holiday season, approaching the end of the year and giving that final push to make our annual goal. How exhausting! What we need to lift our spirits and remind us of why we are fundraisers is the AFP Annual Holiday Luncheon. Join us Wednesday, December 10th at the lovely Communities Foundation of Texas headquarters. We have had great programs this year and this one is no exception.
We continue our tradition of presenting local philanthropists who are icons, social entrepreneurs and visionaries. Jean-Claude Saada is all of the above. He supports health, education and arts causes locally and internationally. I have no doubt his presentation will be fascinating.
In addition to our monthly programs I want you to mark Wednesday, March 4th on your calendar for Texas Legislative Action Day. During the first observance in 2013, AFP members learned how to be an advocate in a safe, collective and effective manner. The event also helped raise legislator awareness about AFP Texas and our values in community impact and ethical fundraising. Join your fellow fundraisers from across the state to hear from policymakers and advocacy experts, visit with legislators about charitable giving and community impact, and then debrief and celebrate at Scholz Garden.
Two years ago a few AFP members from the Dallas Chapter participated in Legislative Action Day. Our Chapter has nearly 400 members. I encourage you, I challenge you to exercise your right as a citizen to meet your lawmakers and let them know firsthand your concerns for your profession, for the nonprofit sector and for those Texans who depend on the services provided by our agencies.
March 2015 will be a busy month because March 29 - 31 are the dates for the AFP International Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, with keynote speaker Whoopi Goldberg.
It's an exciting time to be an AFP member. Your Chapter Board of Directors is working hard to present interesting educational programs, mentoring, scholarship and social opportunities for you, the member. You, too, can volunteer to work hard on an AFP committee. Just let any board member know you want to give back and help make your AFP Chapter even better.
Best wishes,
Diana Marquis
Greater Dallas AFP President
