Dear Colleagues,
The fiscal year end looms just around the corner for many of us, but I hope you will take time to join us at our monthly program. On June 18th Keith Curtis, President of The Curtis Group and Wendy McGrady, Executive Vice President of the Curtis Group will present Giving USA 2019: The Annual Report of Philanthropy for the Year 2018. Please mark your calendar for an extended program time – 12:00-1:30pm. I know you won’t want to miss this popular annual program.
As an added member benefit, we are offering professional photography services for only $25! There are only a handful of time slots so don’t delay in reserving your time today. It is an inexpensive way to get a professional headshot for your LinkedIn page!
In our May program, I mentioned that through a partnership with the American Association of University Women (AAUW), all members of AFP can now participate in AAUW’s Work Smart program, a one-hour online negotiation workshop, free of charge. While focused on salary and benefit negotiations, the workshop will help fundraisers in a variety of conversations.

And a thank you...
Thanks you to everyone who made a gift to the AFP- Be the Cause Annual Giving Campaign. With your support, we surpassed our stretch goal and reached over $3,600! Approximately 25% of our club supported the campaign! We are truly grateful for your support.
I look forward to seeing you on June 18th!

Giving USA 2019: The Annual Report on Philanthropy for the year 2018
Keith Curtis, President of The Curtis Group,
Wendy McGrady, Executive Vice President of The Curtis Group,
The Curtis Group is proud to present the results of Giving USA 2019. Giving USA is the longest-running, most comprehensive study on philanthropy and is published in partnership with the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. Keith Curtis, president of The Curtis Group and past chair of the Giving USA Foundation, and Wendy McGrady, executive vice president of The Curtis Group, will provide their own analysis of the numbers and give recommendations on how the data can be strategically applied to your fundraising strategy.
In addition to an overview of the annual report on philanthropy, this program will also engage the audience and their feedback through either roundtables or a panel discussion. This session is designed to prepare professionals and board members with information which will assist in their understanding of philanthropy on a macro level as well as tips on how the data can help them increase their fundraising results, and it will give participants an opportunity to compare their organization’s fundraising trends with those of their peers and of those in Giving USA.
The Giving USA 2019 report is first available to the public on Tuesday, June 18th – hear it at AFP Hampton Roads first!

The 2019 Fundraising Leadership Symposium will feature the "Donor Relations Guru," Lynne Wester. Ms. Wester is the preeminent authority in improving every aspect of the donor experience—from developing sound strategy and vision to creating meaningful donor engagement—all designed to help your organization raise more money.
Lynne Wester's guidance has led her clients to be recognized on the national stage for fundraising innovation, creative communication, and groundbreaking donor relations work. One of the most sought after donor relations speakers in the world, she and her inspiring message have received rave reviews from across the globe.
In a 3.5 hour morning session, Ms. Wester will speak about the “4 Pillars of Donor Relations,” and then help you make the connection with your board to ensure that your very own board members don’t become bored with donor relations.
