Hello, Friends!
Happy summer! Hopefully you are finding time to rest and renew your passion for your calling as a "friend-raiser." Whether you have enjoyed a staycation in our dynamic city or embarked on an international trek across the globe, we look forward to reconnecting with you!
Your AFP Dallas chapter is continually seeking to bring you the latest information to help support your philanthropic goals. Our own Sheridan Joslin, chapter board member and principal with Dini Spheris, will be providing you an up-close and highly informative overview of the recent
Giving USA 2016 Report at our August 23rd luncheon.
Register today to learn about the latest trends occurring in our nonprofit sector.
When was the last time you utilized one of your greatest member benefits? Recently I was exploring ways to enhance our individual giving program at
www.afpnet.org. Just a few clicks and I was able to download a variety of resources and best practice guides to share with my CEO. The
AFP International website hosts a trove of information, including copies of
Advancing Philanthropy issues all the way back to Spring 2009. I'd love to
hear about your discoveries on this robust site and how you utilize your member benefits to enhance your career goals.
Thank you for choosing the AFP Greater Dallas chapter as your partner in philanthropy.
Mary Freeman, CFRE, President
