Holiday Mixer and Inspirational Luncheon

Fireside Conversation with Wayne Herron

We invite you to join us for a Fireside Conversation with Wayne Herron, Vice President of Philanthropy & Chief Philanthropy Officer at Palomar Health Foundation, as he shares his learnings of working with teams in Philanthropy for over two decades. One of the areas Wayne has focused on as a leader and is committed to is: “growing his employees to greatness.”

Our conversation will provide leaders and aspiring leaders insights and practical tips to help our employees see their professional potential and unique contribution to deliver outstanding results in their respective areas of the responsibility. Wayne believes strongly that the ultimate job of leaders is to work themselves out of their job by creating an environment that thrives after they leave.

At the December meeting, we will also welcome the incoming AFP-GLAC Board of Directors, as we say Thank You to the outgoing officers and board, and 2019 supporters. Enjoy networking with old and new AFP friends before the luncheon and program.

This program has been pre-approved by CFRE International for 1 CE.
