Greetings AFP Members!
Thank you to everyone who attended our first pop-up workshop of 2020 that was held at Nansemond-Suffolk Academy in January. We are grateful to Blake A. Marton, CFRE, Director of Leadership Giving at CHKD, who taught us how to “Create and Evaluate Effective Direct Mail Packages.” This free, fun, pop-up format allowed our chapter members to ask more questions, mix and mingle with chapter members and take a tour of NSA’s Art Show & Sale!
Save the date of February 18th from 12:00-1:30 when Mary Kate Andris, Ed.D., President and CEO, YWCA South Hampton Roads will lead our monthly AFP program. The topic will be: So You Want to be a CEO! This panel style presentation will feature Mary Kate Andris, Karen Philion - President and CEO of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and Stephanie Gorham - Executive Director of Volunteer Hampton Roads.
Learn from these current Executive Directors and CEOs who were fundraisers in their former lives about how to work your way to the top and what skills you need to get there. Our distinguished panel will speak about lessons learned, what skills they wish they knew before they started and some of their secrets to success as an ED/CEO. This meeting will be held at the Town Center City Club in Virginia Beach! I hope you’ll join us at this meeting! Register today!
Don’t forget to utilize this newsletter to search our job postings, renew or update your membership, link directly to Facebook and more! If you haven’t already, please “like” our page on Facebook to keep updated and see photos from events. Additionally, I invite you to get more involved with our chapter by joining a committee.

Pop-Up Workshop, Happy Hour and Theater- March 19, 2020
Topic: Living Life @ a 45 Degree Angle- How Lifting Each Other Up Can Create a Better Culture
Speaker: Reese Beeler, CFRE, Executive Director, Tidewater Arts Outreach
Date: Thursday, March 19, 2020
Time: 4:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Place: The Wells Theater, 108 E. Tazewell St, Norfolk, VA 23510
Registration: Click Here to Register by Wednesday, March 4th at 5pm
About our Program:
Every time we reach up and out to someone for help within our profession we should be reaching back down and pulling someone up with us – hence the 45-degree angle. It’s no secret that most development professionals burn out of their position in under 2 years. When they leave they take donor relationships and institutional knowledge with them that takes another 2 years for the next professional to rebuild. As professionals we know we need to cultivate our donors and potential donors, but rarely take the time to cultivate each other. When was the last time you called a fellow Development worker and asked how they were doing? Sent a note to someone who had a great special event or won a huge grant? Given a shout out to someone doing a great job? If we start cultivating and appreciating each other can we start to combat the burnout we all feel when other professionals within our organizations do not know nor appreciate our efforts? When employees stay longer in their positions they can cultivate even deeper donor relationships and start increase donation dollars! Through discussions at the tables, and an “you’re awesome because” exercise, participants will leave with tools to help show those around them how much they appreciate their efforts. Participants will also leave feeling more empowered about their career choice, and how to reach up or down when they need help.
An after workshop happy hour at Grain @ The Main and opportunity to attend the Virginia Stage Company’s “The Legend of Georgie McBride” production are also available to event attendees*. Reese Beeler will be available at the Happy Hour for any post-workshop questions.
*CFRE Education Credit is only available for Workshop participants.
