Ray LiWelcome Friends!

This year has started out to be very exciting!

As the board president, I have been working together with an amazing group of Board Members to ensure that your AFP experience is something you can be proud of and benefit from.

When we met for our annual board retreat, we all agreed that what was most important to us this year was that we made our members feel the value in their involvement with AFP Fort Lauderdale/Broward. We decided that our key areas of focus would be:

  1.  To “spend down” our reserves by investing back into our members through scholarships, top-notch luncheon speakers, and educational partnerships with the like of the Community Foundation of Broward  and the Indiana School of Philanthropy.
     
  2. Elevate the visibility and brand of AFP through strategic media partnerships, a ramped-up website, and enhancement of the Fundamentals of Fundraising class.
     
  3. Encourage the involvement of “seasoned” professionals and Newcomers alike, so as to get the full range of experiences together, sharing best practices and providing mentorship.  Our Newbie Roundtable and upcoming Senior Professionals’ Roundtable are excellent examples of this coming to fruition.

The board is working together to attain these goals and as the year progresses I’ll be reporting back to you the result of these efforts in emails and on our updated website.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me at kathryn@jasouthflorida.org if you have any ideas, questions, or concerns surrounding your involvement with AFP.  

Watch soon as well for a call for nominations to the 2009 Board – our Annual Meeting and Election takes place in October.  And, get your thinking hats on for your table honorees for National Philanthropy Day, coming up on November 13th! More information can be found on the website…It’s a fantastic event and we would love to have you join us in celebrating the philanthropy so vital to the community we serve.

Until we meet again, my best to each of you.

Kathryn J. Cousins, CFRE
President
AFP Broward/Fort Lauderdale
