Everyday my colleagues wake up ready to make a positive change in our community. Whether it's helping the homeless get back on their feet, ensuring that no child goes home hungry over the weekend, or inspiring the next generation of engineers or doctors; fundraisers are hard at work behind the scenes at Central Florida nonprofits.

The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Central Florida chapter is home to more than 200 fundraising professionals, each dedicated to advancing philanthropy in our community. These professionals join AFP because it's a place where they can connect with others in the fundraising profession, and grow their own skills and knowledge base.

What do people like most about being members of AFP Central Florida? There are many different reasons: networking, mentorship, ethical guidance, understanding data & market research, certification, career advancement, advocacy, and access to thought leaders and respected speakers. (Just to name a few.)

If you are not a member of AFP, I invite you to consider membership in the Central Florida chapter. Get the full experience at a luncheon or go on location for an interactive webinar. We look forward to meeting you!

"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." - Mitch Albom,Tuesday’s With Morrie
