E-BAG JANUARY 2008
E-Bag Sponsored by
MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Dear AFP/DC Members:
Happy New Year!! 2007 was a tremendous year for AFP/DC
and I hope you have taken advantage of your membership
and the educational programs and networking opportunities
our chapter has offered. And if you haven't, don't
worry, there's still plenty more of that coming
up in 2008!
At our December Holiday Luncheon and Annual Meeting,
we recognized some of our most valuable members, our
hard working volunteers. As you know, so much of this
chapter's work gets done by our talented and tireless
volunteers. It was such a pleasure to honor our AFP
members; it's my favorite luncheon of the entire
year!
And I must take a moment to thank two very special
individuals, our Executive Director, John Ganoe, and
our Program Manager, Mary Lou Swiscoski, of AMG, Association
Management Group. January 31, 2008 marks the end
of our long standing relationship with AMG. AFP/DC will
be starting with a new management company, Giuffrida
Associates on February 1, 2008. We are excited about
this new venture and grateful to John and Mary Lou and
AMG for their many years of dedicated service to the
chapter. We will be providing more details on this transition
to you later this month.
Lastly, I want to remind you all to save the date for
the 2008 Bridge to Integrated Marketing and Fundraising
Conference, July 23-25, 2008 at the Hilton Washington,
DC. For those of you who attended the December luncheon
who may have felt a little left out of the “feel
good” volunteer recognition, here's your
chance! Please contact Diane Aten, DAten@samaritanministry.org,
our AFP/DC Bridge Conference 2008 Co-Chair of you have
any questions or would like to volunteer.
I hope you all had a good, restful and happy holiday.
I look forward to seeing you in 2008!
Grace
Hong
President 2007-2008
