Message from the President
AFP/DC...Keeping you connected!
AFP/DC is one of the largest and most active AFP chapters
in the nation. Our members represent local, regional
and national organizations of all sizes throughout the
District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and suburban
Maryland. Our AFP/DC Chapter brings these diverse groups
together to create the ultimate network for fundraisers.
I was so pleased at our recent chapter orientation
when nearly 30 members showed up to learn more about
the chapter. I would like to thank all of the folks
who attended the orientation for their interest and
Roberta Catalinotto from our Membership Committee for
facilitating the meeting. When asked what they hoped
to gain from their membership experience, over and over
again they said they were looking to connect with other
fundraisers.
It's especially vital for “small shop”
development staff. They often feel like no one in their
organization understands them. But at AFP/DC they can
connect with people who speak the same language and
share the same challenges. If you are working in a small
shop, consider attending the Small Shops Special Interest
Group event on Time Management, June 8 from 5-6:30 pm.
I am delighted to announce that you now have a better
way to stay connected to AFP/DC electronically because
we launched our brand new AFP/DC website on June 7.
Many hours of volunteer time have gone into creating
a more attractive and user-friendly site for our members
and prospective members. We urge you to visit www.afpdc.org
regularly to stay connected to all the happenings in
this exciting chapter.
I want to extend a warm thanks to AFP/DC board member
Emmett Jordan who has steered this web project for many
months. Other team members who deserve tremendous gratitude
include Eric Brown, Marshall Ginn, Stacie Mruk, Barbara
Sahli and Alicia Figueiredo. I also want to acknowledge
Julie Carter and Barbara Harr whose past leadership
brought us to where we are now with the chapter website.
And the best way to use your AFP membership is to stay
connected -- join us for the many events you'll
read about below. I hope to see you at our Annual
Member Reception on Tuesday, June 14th from 6:00
to 8:00 p.m. at the Human Rights Campaign Equality Center.
Sincerely,
Kathy Swayze, CFRE
President

Every Member Campaign
Announcing the Kickoff for the “2005 Every
Member Campaign”
It is that time of year when we ask our members to “give
back” by supporting the AFP Foundation through
the Every Member Campaign.
When you support the campaign you enable the foundation
to fund innovative research, influence public and institutional
opinions of fundraising and philanthropy, along with
creating new programs and provide services for members.
Locally, your donation comes back to the chapter through
the Partnership Grant Program – returning 25%
of contributions received from our members to fund chapter
activities that benefit AFP/DC fundraising professionals.
Over the next several weeks chapter members will be
receiving telemarketing calls asking you for a gift
to support for this vital program. I hope that each
of you will make the most generous contribution you
can … and “give back” so that we can
continue to provide excellent programming and mentoring
opportunities for all our members.
Thank you
M. Sue Woodward, CFRE
2005 Every Member Campaign Chairman
