Letter from the President

Happy New Year!
As the 2016 board chair, my goal is to help make AFP indispensable to you. The board is so excited to provide programs and services here locally, and through AFP International, that help you grow personally and professionally.
We are especially fortunate this year to have the International Conference in San Francisco April 30-May 2. I encourage you to attend and if possible volunteer. It is a great way to connect with colleagues from around the world and stay abreast of best practices and trends.
If you would like to get involved a little closer to home, please do not hesitate to contact me or any members of the board.
Warm regards,
Michele Melicia Young, CFRE
President, AFP Monterey Bay
