President's Message
October 2016
|
We are excited about the final plans to wrap up this amazing year. On October 10, we will host an extraordinary panel of individuals from for-profit companies to hear what we can learn from their perspective.
Our October meeting also serves as our annual meeting, where we, as members of AFP Fort Worth Metro Chapter, vote on the 2017 slate of officers. Thank you to the committee on directorship for taking on the task of selecting and placing the best people in each role
to continue the success of our association.
If you haven't done so already, reserve your table or seat today for our National Philanthropy Day Luncheon on November 17. After September 30, the ticket prices go up. This annual event is a wonderful wa
y to honor that special philanthropist for your organization.
I look forward to seeing you all October 10 at the Fort Worth Club and in November at Cendera Center.
