Dear AFP Greater Dallas Members & Friends,
As we head into the fall season, it's time to welcome the new school year and the latter half of 2025 with fresh energy and enthusiasm. We hope that each of you had a chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime over the summer. Whether it was time spent with family, taking a break from the daily grind, or pursuing personal passions, the summer months offer the perfect opportunity to reset and refocus.
As we transition back to the everyday hustle and bustle or, in many cases, the office, let's carry that sense of renewal into our work. Just like students returning to school with a fresh set of goals and learning objectives, we too can take this time to set new intentions for our professional growth and development. It’s a season to embrace challenges, build new skills, and approach tasks with renewed vigor.
This is also a wonderful time to reflect on the work we’ve done over the seven months and set our sights on the next steps in our fundraising efforts. The fall season is often a busy one, filled with opportunities to engage with supporters, launch campaigns, and connect with new partners. Let’s approach this busy time with the mindset of a student ready to learn, grow, and make an impact.
We look forward to exciting AFP programs, luncheons, Emerging Leaders, and a culmination at National Philanthropy Day.
Warmly,
Manuel Mesa
2025 President, Greater Dallas AFP
