What I Love About AFP: The generous nature of fundraisers, especially members of AFP. I have been fortunate to be associated with so many great fundraisers who have gone out of their way to help me in my career with their knowledge, support and expertise. I have a pretty clear idea of why AFP members are so good at encouraging individual philanthropy: Every outstanding development professional I know is personally committed to giving of themselves in their daily lives. Philanthropists see this genuine attitude of generosity, identify with it, and respond accordingly.

What I Love About AFP: I love learning! AFP has given me a multitude of learning opportunities and a network of friends who are passionate about making the world a better place. Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics reminds us, "Moral excellence is the result of habit. The virtues are not implanted in us by nature, but nature gives us the capacity for acquiring them, and this is accomplished by training." Fundraising is an ethical act; we are ethical trainers by example; stewards of public trust.
