Q:
Does my membership belong to me, or the organization
I work for?
The
Association of Fundraising Professionals is an individual
membership organization. Organizations cannot join;
only individual fundraisers can become members.
Q:
Does my membership stay with me if I switch organizations?
Yes.
Because membership is assigned to the individual, members
keep their membership if they switch jobs.
Q:
How much does membership cost?
When
a member joins AFP, he or she joins both the international
organization and a local chapter. The membership dues
cover enrollment in both AFP Fort Lauderdale/Broward
and the national organization.
Q:
How long does my membership last?
Your
membership lasts 12 months, starting in the month you
officially become a member.
Q:
What are the benefits of becoming a member?
The
AFP community, our statewide programs, and our national
resources provide professional engagement and enrichment
for all levels of experience, from the newcomer to the
seasoned fundraiser.
Q:
Are there opportunities to network with other professionals?
Yes!
Every month, the Fort Lauderdale/Broward Chapter hosts
a variety of programs - from luncheon programs, audio
conferences, special workshops and national workshops
and lectures to bring our members a mix of discussions
and news of the latest fundraising trends. The best
part is the opportunity to connect with other professionals
who can share their perspectives on the same challenges
and opportunities you are experiencing.
Q:
Will joining AFP Fort Lauderdale/Broward provide opportunities
for career development?
Yes!
AFP also offers professional education and certification
for introductory, mid-level and advanced professionals,
including opportunities to pursue CFRE and ACFRE certification.
Q:
Are there opportunities to get involved?
Yes!
There are several volunteer committees that are doing
great work to advance the fundraising profession in
our community, from the Diversity Committee to the National
Philanthropy Day Committee.
Q:
I would like to talk to someone in person about membership.
