Dear AFP/DC Members: BRIDGE CONFERENCE 2007: By now you should have received your Save the Date postcard for the 2007 Annual Bridge to Integrated Marketing and Fundraising Conference. In keeping with the keys to successful direct mail, it was a difficult piece to miss! This joint endeavor of AFP/DC and the Direct Marketing Association of Washington (DMAW) provides extraordinary resources to fundraising and direct marketing professionals alike. Mark your calendar for July 8-10, 2007 at the Hilton Washington Hotel in downtown Washington, DC. We are fortunate to have incredibly energetic volunteer
leaders from AFP/DC again this year -- Conference Co-chair
Nancy Withbroe, CFRE, is hard at work with the event
Committee to deliver a conference that brings real value
to members of our chapter. The Committee is developing
educational programs, preparing marketing strategies
to generate registrations, and managing the social and
logistical aspects of this signature event for our chapter.
Like a well-oiled machine, this year AFP/DC and the
DMAW are in gear to deliver a three-day Bridge Conference
featuring a wide range of exciting sessions, including
a day of pre-conference seminars that allow participants
to gain in-depth knowledge on select topics, as well
as two days of sessions on the latest trends and techniques
in fundraising, direct marketing, and membership. Networking
events and social activities as well as a huge exhibit
hall will round out what registrants can expect from
this year's event. Don't miss this opportunity
to connect with colleagues, gain new information and
learn about resources in the field. Visit the website
now: www.bridgeconf.org.
The website will be updated on March 12. Keep checking
back for more information! AFP INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN DALLAS: Speaking of conferences, the AFP 44th International Conference on Fundraising will be held March 25- March 28, 2007 in Dallas, Texas. Record-breaking cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong will speak at the Tuesday plenary session, March 27, at the conference. The Honorable Rudy Giuliani, who had been scheduled to speak, has canceled most speaking engagements since announcing he is running for president of the United States. The AFP/DC chapter is in the process of planning a networking event for chapter members who are attending the International Conference, so stay tuned for details about getting together in the Lone Star State! OTHER PROGRAMMING: We will have no luncheon or forum in March because of the AFP International Conference. However, there will be a Roundtable on March 20, especially designed for the consultants within the chapter. The topic is, "Registration, Regulations and Other Business Operational Issues for Consultants and Independent Contractors." We hope you will attend and learn what you need to know if you are a consultant or thinking of becoming one! Remember that Roundtables are free and are for members only, but we ask that you please register in advance. Please let us know what you think about this very special program! All the best to each of you,
Jeff

When anthropologists Robbie and Belinda Blinkoff and marketer Chuck Donofrio established Context in 1999, their goal was simple - to help marketers and product designers do better work through the power of ethnography. Doing better works involves three things: going very deep with customers, discovering where meaning lies in their lives, and using that knowledge to make something happen. Dr. Blinkoff is an ethnographer and anthropologist,
and he has overseen operations at Context since helping
found the company in 1999. Robbie's project responsibilities
focus on creating research designs that lead to breakthrough
insights and solutions. He's also currently speaking
on The I/WE: Doing Our Own Thing Together - a talk that
tracks current cultural trends and models them for business.
In 2003, Robbie was identified by Fast Company magazine
as one of its prestigious "Fast 50" innovators,
people who are changing the way business is done. His
insights into consumer behavior have appeared on CBS
News, and in Inc., Wired, The New York Times, The Los
Angeles Times, Newsday, and The Philadelphia Enquirer. Thank you to Campbell
& Company for sponsoring the Advanced Executives
Program.
Is your organization considering or already conducting or a campaign to raise funds for building, endowment, or a major program initiative? Are you wondering whether a feasibility/planning study is really needed? Join us in discussing capital campaign trends and learning about what works from two teams of volunteer leaders and development officers from very different organizations. The two teams will offer insights into strategies and techniques for capital fundraising success. Advance handouts on capital campaign basics will make this Forum appropriate for fundraisers of all levels of experience as well as for CEOs and volunteers. PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE:
