Over the past six weeks, I have visited the Association office in Dallas to begin my inventory and examination of twelve stored boxes and tubs containing AFPFW Metro Chapter records. My initial review has focused on three boxes of Treasurer records. The AFPFW Metro Chapter follows a Record and Retention policy, which serves as my guide during the review, although it is not the sole criterion for determining the value of retention.

As a collaborative effort, let us document the history of this local association. By July 1, 2025, please search through your closets, offices, car trunks, and digital storage for AFPFW Metro records. This is a chance to give back. Members who provide records or help expedite the process will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift card at the July 2025 Chapter meeting. One member has already notified me of information dating back to 2009!

And so, the hunt continues!

Congratulations to our chapter and its members for earning the 2025 Ten Star Gold, and IDEA Champion Designations!

The Chapter Ten Star Gold Awards honor those chapters who have accomplished many of the key objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan. AFP’s Strategic Plan is the blueprint for organizational growth and success in the future. For the strategic plan to be effective, it must be implemented through a partnership between AFP Global and the local chapters.

The IDEA Champion Designation recognizes those chapters who have accomplished many of the key objectives in AFP Global’s goal of advancing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA).
