Lynn Trojahn
My AFP membership is priceless! I enjoy all the written materials and use that information to educate other nonprofits and our own staff at ACCION about philanthropy. Being involved on the ground-floor of AFP in New Mexico gives me a broader and more profound relationship with my home state, which I love so much. AFP, in promoting philanthropy, has helped put our state on the map as one of the most philanthropic states per capita.
