Dear Colleagues:
It is sad
but true that some members of our profession in the past have
caused scandals that reflect badly on those of us working in the
field today. We are now a profession under a cloud of scrutiny.
This rightful concern about unethical behavior in nonprofits has
caused a new era of criticism in the media and legislation from
government bodies.
The Association
of Fundraising Professionals emphasizes ethics in the practice
of the profession. We must keep open communication and feature
the accountability of our organizations.
The Sarbanes-Oxley
Act (fully The American Competitiveness and Corporate Accountability
Act of 2002) was signed into law on July 30, 2002. This Act will
affect our organizations.
AFP/DC is
pleased to feature Deborah S. Hechinger, CEO and President of
BoardSource, who will inform us just how all of us will be affected.
Make sure you are on the cutting edge of the fundraising profession
by attending our luncheon on March 25.
See you there—
Celia K.

As the media continue to feature high-profile stories about alleged
sweetheart deals between charities and their top executives and
board members, there is increasing talk on Capitol Hill about
the need for further regulation of our sector. Is it just talk
or is the sky really about to fall?
Speakers:
This Advanced Executives Breakfast Forum will offer an unprecedented
opportunity to "get the scoop" on what may happen next.
Steve Kroll, special counsel to the Senate banking committee,
and Tom Billitteri, who edited the recent special report in The
Chronicle Of Philanthropy titled "Borrowing the Future,"
will share insights and engage us in discussion about public attitudes
and legislative scrutiny. This program is a "must" for
senior development managers, executive directors and CEO's.
