Dear Chapter Members,
Happy April! I'm thrilled to be one of the members representing our chapter at AFP ICON this month. It will be a great opportunity to learn the latest tips and tricks of our trade, connect with fundraisers from across the globe, and hear from fellow chapter leaders how we can best serve you, our members!
Speaking of connecting, I want to highlight one of the lesser known benefits that is included FREE with your AFP membership. AFP Connect is a member-exclusive online community that gives you an opportunity to learn from and connect with fellow fundraisers. In addition to a general Open Forum, there are a number of topic-specific and affinity group communities you can join for more focused conversations. Start connecting today!
REMINDER: AFP launched a new membership database last month. If you have not logged in since March 6, 2023, or earlier, please reset your AFP member account password at https://portal.afpglobal.org so that you can continue to take advantage of your membership benefits, including AFP Connect, the online resource library, webinars, and more!
