March Program Topic:
Fundraising Jeopardy - The Game Show Find out what AFP offers fundraisers to keep them out of jeopardy and at the top of their game. Speaking of game, Larry Hostetler, CFRE, will present a fun (What? Ethics? Fun? That's what it says) and informative "game show" that covers resources available through AFP to help you avoid ethical problems and navigate through those that can't be avoided. There are even prizes for the contestants! Christina Adams, Past President of the Northern Arizona Chapter, says of the presentation, "What a great way to make ethics fun." Few people want to think about ethics until it is on the front page of the paper, at which point we all want to know about it. Why wait? Members and non-members alike, active and retired fundraisers both will benefit from and enjoy this unique presentation and there will be many opportunities for questions at the end.
Presented By: Larry Hostetler, CFRE
About the Presenter:
Larry Hostetler, CFRE
Larry Hostetler has been the Chapter Services Director for the Association of Fundraising Professionals since 2011. His territory includes 67 chapters in the western U.S., from Minnesota, south to Louisiana and west to include Alaska and Hawaii.
Prior to joining AFP as a staff member, Larry's career in fundraising had spanned three decades, and communities, from coast to coast. He has served in both fundraising and executive director positions, most recently as the Director of Marketing and Fund Development for Sierra Vista Child & Family Services in Modesto, California.
He is a Certified Fund Raising Executive. His service to AFP has also been wide-ranging. He has served on Chapter Boards in medium, large, and small chapters (in that order) and was Chapter President of the award-winning Yosemite Chapter in California from 2008-2010. He has also served on AFP International committees, most recently chairing the Chapter Support Subcommittee in the Membership Division.
Larry enjoys sports (particularly baseball, where he is a fan of his hometown Cincinnati Reds), reading, and travel (which is good for his current position). He is married, has two children and one grandchild, and is one of those rare (some would say odd) people who actually enjoys public speaking.

Being a fundraiser means more than just raising funds.

Fundraising is about you.
That's why in 2015 AFP's International Fundraising Conference is changing to focus on one thing-you. No fundraiser is alike, just like no cause or fundraising campaign is alike.
Fundraising is about what you want it to be-what you want to focus on and where you want to take your career, your sector and your imagination.
Where will Fundraising take you in 2015? Hopefully to Baltimore, to the world's largest gathering of professionals dedicated to building the charitable sector -
"The International Fundraising Conference."
