Young Professional Fundraisers Attend First Networking Event at Lotusland with plans for more!

In the gorgeous sunlit setting of the Ganna Walska Lotusland Botanic Gardens, fundraising professionals received a warm welcome from AFPSBV Young Professionals Committee member, Michelle Reiter of CALM and Lotusland Executive Director and former AFPSBV Board President, Rebecca Anderson. Lively networking took place following docent-led tours where bites and beverages were served along with a brief presentation about the benefits of membership and upcoming volunteer opportunities. We also discussed sites for future gatherings and plans to meet up during AFP ICON. We hope to see you at the next one!   A young professional membership (age 30 or under) is only $95 with many local and global benefits available to you including a $100 coupon for a global training (click here to learn more). Many non-profits support the professional development of their employees, be sure and ask if they offer this to you. If there are budget constraints this year let us know. You can click here to request a one-year membership scholarship.
