The calendar has flipped to 2014, and with the new year comes new challenges and demands on your time. With the frivolity of the holidays behind us and cold, wintry days ahead, AFP Charlotte is offering a warm cup of inspiration with its January program. Three presenters with very different backgrounds and organizational platforms will provide participants with their unique perspectives and stories of success and local achievement. In each presentation, development professionals and nonprofit guests will find fresh perspective and nuggets of wisdom to carry back to their organizations.
Following the presentations, a brief Q&A will be facilitated by Blair Primis.
This session is ideal for Development Directors, Development Officers, Executive Directors, Leadership Teams and Board Members, or anyone in your organization in need of some fresh inspiration or new perspective during these cold winter months.
