Greetings AFP-Hampton Roads Chapter Members,
I’d like to begin by thanking you for joining us for our virtual June Chapter Meeting. We are grateful to Keith Curtis, President of The Curtis Group, and Wendy McGrady, Executive Vice President of The Curtis Group, for their presentation on Giving USA: The Annual Report of Philanthropy for the Year 2019.
Our AFP Board wants to hear from you! We are always open to feedback and want to improve your experience as a member. As such, our Board members will be calling our members over the course of the next month to touch base with you and learn what our chapter can do for you to enhance your membership experience. Additionally, be on the lookout for a member survey that will be emailed to you in the next month. We will use results from this survey to guide our chapter initiatives. We appreciate you taking time to complete the survey!
We are promoting AFP’s Annual Giving Campaign called the “Be the Cause Campaign.” More information on the campaign can be found within the newsletter. I encourage you to make a gift of $5, $10, $20 or more - whatever you can do to help AFP. Remember, a portion of what we donate comes back to our chapter to help us host programs for our chapter!
Our next big program is the annual Fundraising Leadership Symposium on Tuesday, August 18. We are thrilled to bring Kim Ades with Frame of Mind Coaching, who recently wowed attendees at AFP ICON in March. She will virtually present “How Top Leaders THINK During a Crisis.” I hope you’ll plan to join us, and look for more details below and in a separate announcement to come.
Thank you for your continued support of our AFP Chapter!
Keep up the good work,
Kenda G. Council
2020 President, AFP-HR

Government Relations
Call to Action for AFP HR Members:
• Let your organization’s voice be heard with elected officials as it relates to the important work you are continuing to do despite complications during COVID-19. This also offers an opportunity to engage board members. Perhaps your organization should consider the establishment of a Political Action Committee, if you don’t already have one.
• Support AFP IDEA – Diversity and Inclusion by supporting modifications to policy or lawmaking to support social inequities.
• Consider a contribution to AFP’s Political Action Committee.
• Commence preparation for the 2020 election – initiate contact with current elected officials, identify your key points, engage in conversation, and encourage others to do the same.
Contact Serena Amerson, CFRE, Government Relations Chair with questions – 757-961-2015.
