Dear Friends,
It is officially fall and time for all things pumpkin spice, fundraising ethics, and voting in new board members! Wow, that’s quite a mix! One thing is certain, October brings a full list of awesome opportunities for YOU, our members.
Our annual meeting and board elections take place this month. We’ll call our meeting to order early, at 11:30 AM, to vote on our board slate for 2023 and share updates on membership and chapter accomplishments to date.
Then, we’ll move into our educational program, Stranger Things: A Panel Discussion on Ethics and Fundraising, moderated by AFP Dallas past president Paul A. Dunne, CFRE. Bet you didn’t know that October is also Ethics Awareness Month! We promise, it's going to be entertaining. Join us at a new location this month at Pegasus Park, 3000 Pegasus Park Drive, just off I-35 and Commonwealth.
Also, just a few more months remain to donate to our AFPNow! campaign. Seventy-percent (70%) of funds raised stay in Dallas with our chapter to provide member opportunities, like providing scholarships for professional development for our members. 30% of funds raised are donated to the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy to support the important work AFP Global does on behalf of all fundraising professionals around the world. Join me in donating today!

And, finally, tickets and tables are on sale for our National Philanthropy Day Awards Celebration. Join us as we honor six phenomenal philanthropists on November 17. Details can be found on our website here. Questions? Email DallasNPD@gmail.com.
We’ve got a lot brewing this month so keep reading!
Yours in fundraising,
