Message from the President
Happy New Year! The year is kicking off with tremendous
energy and enthusiasm here at AFP/DC. The Board of Directors
will meet later this month for a full day session on
"Fostering Board Excellence”. The Education
Team is busy planning for our January luncheon on the
19th and exciting programming for the coming months.
And, our 2006 Fundraising Day Washington co-chair Nancy
Withbroe, CFRE is busy putting together her Leadership
Team for this year's conference. In an exciting
development, the chapter will hold our conference this
year in conjunction with the Direct Marketing Association
of Washington (DMAW).
Mark your calendars NOW for the most exciting educational
event of the year! “2006 Bridge to Integrated
Fundraising and Marketing”, or the Bridge Conference,
will be held July 12-14 at the Marriott Wardman Park
Hotel. You may attend Fundraising Day alone on July
13… or sign up for the full conference and gain
even more insight from outstanding speakers in the direct
response and online fundraising fields.
The chapter is extremely excited about this opportunity
to partner with DMAW to expand and diversify our educational
offerings. In today's increasingly competitive
fundraising environment, integrating our fundraising,
marketing and communications efforts has never been
more important.
I am extremely grateful to Nancy for taking on the
challenge of this new conference format and delighted
that one of our AFP/DC board members, Geoff Peters,
will be the chair for DMAW. With these two behind it,
the event is sure to be a great success. Stay tuned
to the Website for more information about the conference
in the coming weeks… and if you want to get involved
in planning this year's conference, we would love
to have you. Please complete the Volunteer
Form and fax it to 202-547-6348.
I hope to see you at some of our educational events
in the coming months and wish you tremendous success
in 2006!
Kathy Swayze, CFRE

Fundraising forum
- February 16
Plan to attend the special jointly-sponsored
AFP/DC and National Capital Gift Planning Council Forum
TOPIC:
Session 1 - How to Talk Planned Giving When You're
Not an Expert
Session 2 - Tools and Techniques to Help You and
Your Leadership Maximize Your Gift Planning Activities
DESCRIPTION:
Session 1 - Everyone has the opportunity to plant the
seeds of gift giving by bequest, but not everyone has
a comfortable and focused way to broach the subject
with tact and sensitivity. This presentation will provide
some simple tools that can be used every time you're
with a donor or friend of your organization.
Session 2 - Helping your boss and your volunteers to
be comfortable with talking about planned giving is
a real challenge. They need to understand it in down
to earth, easy to absorb terms that are meaningful to
them. This presentation will show you what to focus
on to help make that happen so that they understand
that planned giving is not just deferred giving, but
a powerful tool to raise sights and outcomes with all
of your best friends and donors.
