It’s the holiday season. That means many different things depending on who you are. For us as fundraisers, it means End of Year campaigns, holiday gift delivery, and hopefully a few days of rest. It’s also a rewarding time to connect with donors as many donors are thinking of ways they can be generous, giving and gracious. For me that is always the magic of the season. For a few weeks of the year, the world joins in on the work that we do all year long.
It has been a real joy to serve as the Greater Dallas Chapter president this year. I want to thank our 2024 board for leading the chapter during a year that included Emerging Leaders and Collegiate Chapter recruitment events, our annual Philanthropy in Action conference, Executive Conversations events, and a National Philanthropy Day Celebration at the Dallas Arboretum that emphasized our city’s strong philanthropic presence.
I am looking forward to 2025 and all that it will bring. Watch your email inbox for information about the 2025 Philanthropy in Action Conference, and be sure to invite your colleagues to join AFP or renew their membership.
