Dear Friends,
Diana Marquis

Kudos and more kudos go to Sue Bailey for her extended service as President of the AFP Dallas Chapter Board of Directors. Sue and her fellow board members are volunteers. Her leadership provided stability so that the volunteer committees who worked on the DFW Philanthropy Conference, the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon, the CFRE Review Course, and Fundamentals of Fundraising Course could do their jobs.

 

As the incoming President I am pleased to have a solid team to support the Dallas Chapter. Our programs have been excellent due to the creative thinking, planning and outreach by Jennifer Pearson and Janet Davis. Two experienced board members, Mary Freeman and Christina Moore-Salinas, are serving as Treasurer and Secretary, respectively. Deborah Montenan is working hard to spread the word about all the scholarships we have for our members.

 

First time board members for the AFP Dallas Chapter are taking leadership roles to move some of our projects to the next level: Darrin Goldin, Youth in Philanthropy; Sarah Elliott, Hospitality; and Tori Correll, New Membership Orientation. I wish space allowed me to mention others doing great work.

 

There are twenty-three members of your AFP Dallas Chapter Board of Directors. We are here to serve you, to help you move your career forward, to offer continuing education, and to support each other in times of transition.

 

Please feel free to email or call me and to introduce yourself to me at our next meeting. I want to know what you think. I also want you to get involved with our chapter by joining one or more of our committees. Fundraising is more than asking people to support your cause. It's also about relationships, including relationships with other fundraisers. AFP is here for you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Diana Marquis, CFRE

Greater Dallas AFP President
