As your new
chapter president, I wish a happy and successful New Year to all
members of the Metro DC Chapter of the Association of Fundraising
Professionals. I am anticipating an organized and profitable year
ahead. I am proud and excited to be leading a strong board, and
to be working with a well-qualified management team,
Donors are
still lacking confidence in the ability of charities to spend
donations wisely and to deliver services, according to a recent
survey by the Brookings Institution. This diminished confidence
in the nonprofit sector, which has been caused by local and national
scandals in the field, continues to affect us in our professional
lives.
We are challenged
by new competition for gifts, the public doubt, and the need to
communicate the work of our organizations and the nonprofit sector.
AFP/DC will provide services, education, and networking at all
levels of experience to our 1,000 members so that we can each
give our best for the benefit of those we serve.
In 2004 let
us promote our profession and ensure a stronger future for the
charitable sector in DC. I look forward to working with you in
this essential task.
