Since joining the Board in 2021, I’ve seen firsthand how our chapter fosters a close-knit community with countless opportunities to get involved and make a real difference. We proudly serve professional fundraisers working across the San Fernando Valley—from grassroots organizations to major institutions like universities. What makes our chapter special is the way we continually learn from one another, share expertise, and support the diverse needs of our member community.

This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with dedicated colleagues in the nonprofit sector, contribute to our vibrant member community, and play a key role in advancing our chapter’s goals. Being a part of the Board allows you to shape the future of our chapter while gaining valuable experience in leadership, strategic planning, and community building.

The Nominating Committee works hard to ensure our Board reflects a diverse range of skills, experiences, and perspectives, balancing new voices with returning members. Whether you’re a seasoned fundraising professional or just beginning your leadership journey, we invite you to apply or nominate someone else who would bring fresh energy and insight to our Board. We have included information on the timeline, qualifications, and nominating process below. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at office@afpgsfv.net.
