Upcoming AFP Webinars:

Revitalizing Your Development Program, 30 Steps in 30 Days
(Jan. 25
, 1-2:30 p.m. ET)
Many development officers are so relieved when the fiscal year or calendar year comes to an end, they don't even want to think about work over the summer or in January. Why not spend the next month getting ready so you can hit the ground running in the year ahead! In this presentation by fundraising trainer and author Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE, you’ll get strategies for how to assess the success of the past year’s development effort and how to plan to improve effectiveness and efficiency in the year ahead.
Register now.

Career Track

Mark Crusante, director of fundraising and development, The Our World Neighborhood Charter School, Astoria, N.Y.
“My interpretation of diversity isn’t so much based on race, ethnic background, class or gender but rather on the inclusion of everyone and the ability to recognize and appreciate different viewpoints. Each one of us has our own story to tell, and it’s important for all of us to share it.” Learn more about Mark’s fundraising career and his views on diversity in this career profile.
