Networking starts at 11:15; lunch buffet line opens at 11:30
Program 12 Noon to 1 p.m.
Join us for "Ethics Jeopardy" -- Few people want to think about ethics until it is on the front page of the paper. At which point we all want to know about it. Why wait? Find out now what AFP offers fundraisers to keep them at the top of their game.
Speaking of game, Larry Hostetler, CFRE, AFP Chapter Services Director for the Western U.S., will present a fun (What? Ethics? Fun? That’s what it says) and informative “game show” that covers resources available through AFP to help you avoid ethical problems and navigate through those that can’t be avoided.
Members and prospective members alike, active and retired fundraiser both will benefit from and enjoy this unique presentation and there will may even be opportunities for questions at the end (if Larry doesn’t go on and on and on…)
SPECIAL PRE-MEETING: Come early for an optional pre-meeting from 10:45 to 11:15 a.m. to learn about the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation. We'll tell you what you need to know about the requirements and process for becoming certified.
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:
Larry Hostetler, CFRE, has been the Chapter Services Director for the Association of Fundraising Professionals since 2011. His territory includes the western U.S., Pennsylvania, and North and South Carolina, which means he provides services and visits 66 chapters in six time zones.
His service to AFP has also been varied. He has served on Chapter Boards in medium, large, and small chapters (in that order) and was Chapter President of the award-winning Yosemite Chapter in California from 2008-2010. He has also served on AFP International committees, most recently chairing the Chapter Support Subcommittee in the Membership Division.
Prior to joining AFP as a staff member, Larry’s career in fundraising had spanned over three decades and communities from coast to coast. He has served in both fundraising and executive director positions, most recently as the Director of Marketing and Fund Development for Sierra Vista Child & Family Services in Modesto, California. He is a Certified Fund Raising Executive.
Larry enjoys sports (particularly baseball, where he is a fan of his hometown Cincinnati Reds), reading, and travel (which is good for his current position). He is married, has two children and one grandchild, and is one of those rare (some would say odd) people who actually enjoys public speaking.
