It’s that time of year yet again AFP members. Nominations are now being accepted for National Philanthropy Day 2021. We are excited to announce our theme Meeting the Moment and are looking forward to celebrating the incredible work your organizations are doing in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Equity means being fair and a whole lot more. In an equitable society, people have access to the necessities of life with no obstacles based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or gender to name a few. In an equitable society, people can go as far as their talents and abilities will allow. It sounds quite simple.

In looking back on history, we can note some parallels with current events. We are surrounded by the advancement of innovations, while at the same time overwhelmed by the call for reforms in the areas of social justice, economics, and politics.

If your strategic plan is collecting dust, then your potential is as well. During the AFP SEWI “Visioneering Your Organization” webinar watch, area AFPSEWI professionals discussed the importance of strategic planning to lead to the success of both their department and their organization.

Every year, AFP honors chapters for achieving goals that align with key objectives in its long-range strategic plan. Less than 20 percent of AFP’s 200 professional chapters earn the Ten Star Gold Chapter recognition, making AFPSEWI one of the association’s leading chapters around the world.

AFP wouldn’t be what it is today without YOU—our members! To show our appreciation, all AFP members have access to a one-time use code that provides $40 off online materials in BlueSky—AFP’s learning management system. Now through June 30 enjoy a discount on webinars, conference recordings, and much more. THANK YOU for your commitment to the fundraising community.
