President's Message
Dear Chapter Members,

Happy May! It's wonderful seeing so many of you back at our monthly luncheons. Last month CCS Fundraising sponsored our program and brought two of their team members, Matt Hughes and Christie Rodriguez, to share their insights on donor cultivation in a changing philanthropic world. Their presentation was packed full of data and great take aways! I hope to see even more of you at this month's luncheon in Maggiano's newly refurbished dining room. 

If you can't make this month's meeting, registration is still open for our annual DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference on June 16. Our committee volunteers have been working hard behind the scenes to deliver yet another stellar line up of speakers and exhibitors. It's sure to be a can't miss event!
