Ethics: Where does the buck stop?
11:30 am - 1:00 pm | CPCC Harris Campus
Ethical fundraising is a core component of AFP, but development professionals can sometimes find themselves in sticky, tricky situations when it comes to raising funds. This session will focus on real life examples, how to handle them, and how to stay out of trouble.
Patton McDowell, President of PMA Consulting, LLC, will moderate this panel discussion and explore real life case studies that our panelists have encountered over their years in fundraising. Panelists include: Dianne Chipps Bailey, Lead Attorney for the Nonprofit Organizations and Foundations practice group at Robinson Bradshaw, Beth Crigler, Senior Director of Leadership and Principal Gifts for the Novant Health Foundation, Beth Fischer, Executive Director for University Development at UNC Charlotte, and Rex Otey, Senior Project Director with Convergent Nonprofit Solutions.
Attendees are encouraged to share their questions/cases/examples anonymously the morning of the event or through afp.charlotte@gmail.com. Register here.

What's the Big IDEA?
11:30 am - 1:00 pm | CPCC Harris Campus
Last year, the Association of Fundraising Professionals updated its Diversity and Inclusion efforts to IDEA Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access. Hear an overview of IDEA and how to incorporate the concept into fundraising efforts in diverse communities, plus bring more diversity to the Chapter and the profession. Our guest speaker, Birgit Smith Burton, the Executive Director of Foundation Relations at Georgia Tech, recently led her team in raising $309 million towards the Institute's most successful $1.8B capital campaign. Birgit is a member of the board of Hosea Helps, an advisor for the Aspen Leadership Group, and the founding chair of the African American Development Officers Network, which for 18 years has supported diversity in the fundraising profession by promoting professional development and facilitating interaction among its members.
