AFP to sponsor Nonprofit Track at THE Conference
The Association of Fundraising Professionals and The Luzerne Foundation are co-sponsoring a series of workshops aimed at helping nonprofits better raise funds and awareness at THE Conference, on Tuesday April 27th at The Woodlands Inn.
“There are a variety of sessions (25 in all) to attend – some of which focus directly on nonprofit issues. Others cover such topics as human resource legal issues, marketing, accounting, and executive suite challenges,” said Charles Barber of The Luzerne Foundation. “All of these topics also pertain to our nonprofit world thus I highly recommend your consideration of attendance at THE Conference.”
According to John Dawe, CFRE, Chair of Professional Advancement, workshops including “Hot Topics in Fundraising”, “Getting your Board on Board”, and “Signature Events” will be some of the sessions offered for nonprofits, all of which qualify for CFRE continuing education points.
The cost is $49 for employees of nonprofits and includes a continental breakfast, lunch, all sessions and entrance to the Cocktails & Connections Business Mixer at the end of the day. The Luzerne Foundation has provided funding for a limited number of scholarships for this event – to find out more about those please contact Donna Sedor at the Chamber at 570-823-2101 or dsedor@wilkes-barre.org.
