Greetings AFP- Hampton Roads Chapter Members!
Thank you to all that attended our February luncheon and especially to Mary Kate Andris, Ed.D., President and CEO of the YWCA South Hampton Roads, who led a panel discussion about professional development! How wonderful it was to learn from non-profit leaders in Hampton Roads!
I look forward to seeing you at our AFP-HR Chapter Pop Up meeting being held on Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. at the Wells Theater. The speaker will be AFP Board Member Reese Beeler, CFRE, who serves as the Executive Director at the Tidewater Arts Outreach. She’ll be presenting “Living Life @ a 45 Degree Angle - How Lifting Each Other Up Can Create a Better Culture.” The meeting is free, but you will need to register!
You are invited to join AFP Chapter Members after the meeting at Grain at 5:15 to enjoy happy hour. If you are interested, you are also invited to purchase discounted tickets to attend the 7:30 performance of “The Legend of Georgia McBride” by Matthew Lopez at the Wells Theater.

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 to 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.
