"I've Been Promoted, Now What?"
Wednesday, August 24, 2022, In-Person Only
- 11:30 AM Networking
- 12-1 PM Luncheon Program
People are promoted for performing at a high level in their organization, contributing to the mission and visions, and exceeding the expectations of their leadership team and stakeholders. However, what got you to the promotion may not be the thing that sustains or propels you in the new role. You now need to employ new knowledge, skills, and abilities to excel in your new role with new responsibilities and accountabilities. This session will give you the tools and insight you need to step into your new role with the confidence you need to be successful.

DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION HAVE A POSITION TO FILL OR PROGRAM TO PROMOTE? If you're registered for the August luncheon program, you can bring flyers to share with your fellow fundraisers.

WE ARE IN-PERSON ONLY FOR AUGUST at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. Members and non-members are welcome. Discounted rates for emerging professionals age 30 and under available.

I support the AFP Now! Campaign because as a fundraising professional, I have personally seen the impact that individuals within our profession are able to have in our partnerships and the communities that we are engaged with each and every day. Supporting this campaign is an investment that has the most significant return, which is long-term community impact. When we invest in ourselves and each other as doers and lifelong learners, amazing things can happen! - Christine Heskes, Associate Director of Advancement, The Lamplighter School.
