E-BAG JULY 2007 E-Bag Sponsored by
Dear AFP/DC members: Greetings from your new AFP/DC chapter President! Summer in Washington DC is busy as ever for our vibrant non-profit community. I hope you will join me and many of our colleagues in fundraising and direct marketing for the 2nd Annual Bridge Conference to Integrated Marketing and Fundraising, July 8 – 10th at the Hilton Washington Hotel. Last year, this joint conference with Direct Marketing Association of Washington yielded the highest number of conference attendees in the history of both organizations. There are more than 90 educational sessions featuring nationally and internationally recognized speakers, including Bernard Ross, Norma Galafassi, Tony Elischer, Kay Sprinkel Grace, Karen Osborne, among others. Also, there are over 120 exhibitors, master's classes that allow for 1 on 1 interaction with some of the world's top fundraising and marketing professionals, and opportunities to network and socialize with your colleagues and leaders in the field. On site registration will be available, so don't miss out! I couldn't be a good President without a stellar and hardworking board. I would like to formally welcome Nancy Withbroe, CFRE as my President-Elect. Nancy has already shown her commitment and strength to our chapter, as co-chair of the Bridge Conference for 2 years in a row, and through her consulting firm, Withbroe Development Consulting. I would also like to welcome 5 new members to our board, Carol Shannon, Executive Director of Catholic Community Foundation; Beth Brummel, Vice President for External Affairs of Wolf Trap Foundation, Lisa Boccia, Development Director of Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia, Lynn Croneberger, CFRE, Chief Development Officer of Mary's Center; and Lisa Maska, CFRE, Senior Vice President of Lautman Maska Neill and Company. Thanks to all of the officers and board members, whose dedication and service to our chapter is greatly appreciated. Again, I am honored to be the President of the AFP/DC chapter. It is my hope to be a good leader and strong advocate for our chapter members. And that happens with open communication, so I look forward to hearing from you too! Best wishes for a safe and happy summer,

This program will address the important steps you can
take to ensure your organization is ready for its next
site visit. Whether it's a representative from
a corporation, a foundation or an interested individual,
this is your organization's opportunity to shine
and to get your key messages across. What should you
have prepared for your visitors? How many staff members
should they meet? How long should they stay? Who leads
the tour? Do you invite board members to participate?
Come and hear from a panel of experts and professionals
with experience in making this happen for their organizations.
This program is being presented in cooperation with
the National Capital Area Chapter of the American Association
of Grant Professionals.
Are you an executive director thinking about hiring your first full-time fundraising professional? Are you thinking about making a career change, maybe you are getting ready to take your first job as the director of development, perhaps the organization's first professional fundraiser? Are you a consultant with a client who's thinking about investing in a development staff person? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then this Roundtable is for you. Come and share ideas with your peers on the steps organizations can take to help pave the way for successfully bringing on their first professional development staff. This is an important evolutionary step that many organizations take as they seek to build a sustainable resource development program. Discussion topics can range from job descriptions and duties, to managing expectations, working with the board, to equipment and materials essentials, and a whole lot more! COST: Free – Open to AFP/DC
members only. Registration is limited.
