PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Greater Dallas AFP Members,
As we enter the first quarter of the New Year, it's a great time to plan for 2015-16. Your Board of Directors will be doing just that later this month. Every year we plan, strategize and set goals for the upcoming year. I invite you to email your ideas, suggestions and recommendations regarding the Greater Dallas AFP Chapter and how we can better serve our members. Have you heard a speaker at a conference or seminar that you think would be great for one of our monthly programs? Send me that name. Is there a program topic that you would like presented? What can we do to attract new members and sustain that membership? Your input will be appreciated. My email is [email protected].
Continuing with my theme of planning, I hope you have already signed up for our new Professional Development Subscription. Members asked us to make it easier to register for our monthly educational luncheon meetings, so we are kicking off 2015 with an annual subscription offer that includes pre-registration for eight monthly luncheon programs, five webinars and special discounts for other Chapter events. Not only will you save money, you'll save time each month. Check out the details on our website and sign up.
January will give you two opportunities to learn more about Planned Giving. Bryan Clontz will be here from Atlanta to speak at our educational luncheon meeting on January 28th, and he will present an entirely different program the next day, Thursday, January 29th at The Dallas Foundation. We appreciate The Dallas Foundation for collaborating with us to bring Mr. Clontz to Dallas.
Remember that Wednesday, March 4th, is Texas Legislative Action Day in Austin. The goal is to raise legislator awareness about AFP Texas and our values in community impact and ethical fundraising. Join your fellow fundraisers from across the state as we meet with legislators about making a difference through charitable giving.
March will be a busy month! The AFP International Conference will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, March 29-31, 2015. Registration rates go up after January 30, 2015.
Greater Dallas AFP is your chapter and your input and involvement are important. We are resources to and for each other. Do not hesitate to approach the members of the Board or any AFP member if you have a question or concern. Do not hesitate to bring your boss or colleague to our monthly educational programs. No matter which nonprofit organization you work for, our job as professional fundraisers is to make our community a better place for all people to live. The Greater Dallas Chapter AFP is here to support you.
Best wishes,
Diana Marquis
Greater Dallas AFP President
