Introducing... AFP-HM's Book Club 📚
Join us as we turn the page on a new professional development adventure! In partnership with Mike Buckley and The Killoe Group, our chapter is proud to launch its Book Club, a space for fundraisers to gather, learn, and grow through thought-provoking reads that challenge our perspectives and sharpen our skills.
We’re kicking things off with the classic bestseller The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko. This book explores the surprising habits and values of America’s wealthy and what fundraisers can learn from their behaviors, priorities, and giving potential.
Whether you're a seasoned development professional or new to the field, this is your opportunity to connect with peers, explore meaningful insights, and spark conversations that go beyond the balance sheet!
I'm excited to share that starting next month, our AFP-HM newsletter will feature a new column: FUNDamental Perspective!
This column will highlight insights from local nonprofit professionals as they reflect on the pivotal moments, challenges, and lessons that shaped their careers. From leading their first fundraising campaign to finding their voice as a leader, our guest contributors will share what they wish they had known earlier - offering practical advice for the next generation of fundraisers.
Have a tip or a piece of advice that helped shape your career journey? We'd love to hear it! Email us to contribute today.
