THE ASK ACADEMY: Training Board Members & Volunteers to Ask
For those of us who are tasked with inspiring board members and volunteers with the incredible honor of raising money for an important cause. Give them the tools for success to thank donors, create their own passion statement, and find new donors without feeling that they must ask their friends. With five simple steps you can tailor your own course that will create board members who become an integral part of your fundraising process. Bring a member of your board to this event!
Stephanie Wilson, CFRE brings to her nonprofit career a unique skillset forged in her previous work in both theater and business training. For the past two decades she has worked as a fundraising executive for large nonprofits and spearheaded major capital campaigns, produced fundraising galas and golf tournaments, and trained development professionals in proposal writing. She has also worked to develop strategic plans for small organizations and large counties. Stephanie has served on more than 15 boards as a volunteer and continues to serve her community wherever there’s both an opportunity to do good and chocolate being served.
AFP Members - $20
Non-Members - $30
Zoom details will be sent prior to the training.

AFP Global Database Transition | |
AFP Global is transitioning to a new membership database. What does that mean for you?
On March 7, AFP will launch a new membership database. We are undergoing this transition to better serve you as a professional fundraiser and AFP member. To make this transition as seamless as possible for you, and to minimize any disruptions or frustration, please read through this list carefully and be prepared to take action.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Beginning Thursday, February 23, through Tuesday, March 7, the AFP Connect discussion forums will be unavailable due to the database transition.
- Beginning Monday, February 27 through Tuesday, March 7, the AFP Santa Barbara/Ventura Counties Chapter Website will be frozen. Job Postings will not be able to be posted during this time. Members will not be able to login to access the member directory.
- Beginning Friday, March 3, through Tuesday, March 7, membership join and renewal functionality will be unavailable. You also may experience delays through AFP’s customer service channels during that timeframe. We appreciate your patience!
- On March 6 or 7, you will receive an email with subject line “Welcome to Salesforce: Verify Your Account” that you must click through to verify your account.
- Until you verify your account, you will not be able to access your AFP member account.
-
The email will come from <noreply@salesforce.com> on March 6 or 7, 2023.
- You have 7 days to take action on this email upon receipt, after which you will need to manually request a new email to verify your account.
