President's LetterAs the Queen City heats up over the summer, it is also a time of organizational reflection as plans are made for fundraising efforts in the new fiscal year. AFP Charlotte is your go-to for fundraising inspiration, innovation and collaboration.This month, the chapter welcomes Ken Carrick from Coleman Lew + Associates to discuss talent acquisition and retention (a very timely topic if our jobs board is any indication). And in September, don't miss renowned thinker and strategist Adrian Sargeant sharing a sneak peek at his as-of-yet unpublished groundbreaking research. In addition to exceptional monthly programs, there are so many ways to get tremendous value out of your AFP membership. The newest cohort of our mentoring program recently launched and there are six affinity groups that meet every quarter. At the end of August, our chapter is proud to have helped plan the NC Philanthropy Conference taking place in Winston-Salem.  It may be summer, but your chapter does not rest! Hope to see you out for these exceptional programs. Josh Jacobson 2018 Programming

Your Income - Extended Lunch Program 12:00 pm - 2:15 pm | CPCC Harris Campus

In this session we'll explore the results of Adrian Sargeant's study of organizations that have successfully doubled or tripled their donated income in a five-year period or less. Read more about this special lunch program and register now as space is limited.
This program is funded in part through member support of the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy's BE the Cause Campaign.

Relationship Fundraising 3.0: Lessons from Social Psychology - Senior Forum
9:00 am - 11:00 pm | CPCC Harris Campus
We will explore the psychology of each stage of a relationship, from exploration through growth and commitment. Adrian Sargeant will then map out the fundamental human needs that can be met through philanthropy and how an understanding of these dimensions can add real value for supporters in their giving. For the first time, Adrian will present hard data on how exposure to relationship fundraising actually makes donors feel. He'll demonstrate how a relationship focused approach enhances the wellbeing it generates for supporters and how giving can double as a consequence. Register here.
Last month, the National Philanthropy Day Committee (NPD) and AFP Charlotte's Board of Directors were excited to announce the 2018 NPD honorees whose philanthropic impact we'll be celebrating at the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon on November 27th:

The annual NPD Luncheon is more than a celebration of the diverse philanthropists, fundraisers, volunteers and organizations making an impact in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community; it's also an opportunity to expand you and your organization's network.
