Greater Dallas Chapter AFP Educational Luncheon Program
Wednesday, September 26, 2018, 11:30 AM to 1 PM
Stop Hiding behind the Computer and Talk to Your Donors
Building meaningful relationships with donors is an indispensable requirement for any organization successfully seeking support for its cause. While the usage of advanced technology in the areas of prospect management, research and stewardship are almost always well worth the investment when properly employed, the latest and greatest tech gimmick will never eclipse the human mind, voice or heart. B.J. will share real life examples and anecdotes from a decade and half of secondary school advancement experience, offering tools for gift officers and advancement departments to produce considerably stronger results for their organizations.
B.J. Antes serves as Vice President of Advancement at Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas, where he is charged with securing principal gifts while providing oversight to the areas of development, alumni relations, advancement services, events, and communications. Antes also serves as the Executive Director of the Jesuit Dallas Foundation, working with the Foundation's board of trustees who are entrusted with growing and managing the endowment. Entering his 16th year with Jesuit, Antes also directs planned giving and other internal, community and special event fundraising activities. Jesuit Dallas has enjoyed a growth in its annual giving activity in each of the last 10 years, while nearly doubling its planned gift inventory over the last six years. Antes played a key role in the success of the "We Are Jesuit" capital campaign (2007-12), which at the time marked the largest fundraising drive in the history of the school. He was intricately involved in the planned development for Jesuit's first land expansion since 1962. An avid golfer, his favorite contribution over the years might be the MAGIS Golf Classic, which is annually listed as one of the top 10 charity golf events in North Texas by the Dallas Business Journal. Antes earned a BS in accounting from Murray State University and an MBA from SMU's Cox School of Business.

President's Message
 |
|
Greetings, Fellow Fundraising Executives,
It's September! School is back in session and people are already counting down the number of shopping days left until the holidays.
As fundraisers, many of us are now in the throes of our busiest season (North Texas Giving Day, Giving Tuesday, major donor meetings, annual appeal, etc.). Despite our busy schedules, I think we can all benefit from this month's luncheon topic. It's all about the power of conversation with our donors.
Also, if you're looking for another resource for training, our friends at the
Nonprofit Learning Lab are hosting a Nonprofit Institute on
October 16th in Dallas. AFP friends can use the discount code happy10 to receive $10 off registration until September 15th.
Finally, if you missed last month's session with the amazing Alphonce J. Brown, Jr., ACFRE - you missed a good one. Alphonce guided us through some very thoughtful discussion about how we can build greater diversity within our organizations and within our AFP Chapter. This is an ongoing conversation for our chapter, and I look forward to sharing our progress as we move forward. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me with your ideas and suggestions.
I look forward to seeing you all at our next program and luncheon on September 26th!
My Best,
Sarah Elliott, President
Greater Dallas Chapter AFP
(214) 306-8400 ext.103
