AFP Greater Smoky Mountains is kicking off the new year with our first social event, and you're invited! Join us on Tuesday, January 13 at the historic Blount Mansion for an evening of networking and community building with fellow local fundraisers.

This special event serves a dual purpose: it's your opportunity to explore our new programs space where all monthly programs in 2026 will be held, and it's a chance to meet Tony Murchison, the new East Tennessee Regional Director for the Tennessee Nonprofit Network. Tony brings nearly 20 years of nonprofit and community partnership experience, most recently serving as Director of Community Partnerships at UT Knoxville's College of Social Work. In his new role serving nonprofits from Bristol to Chattanooga, Tony will provide training, technical assistance, and opportunities for collaboration across our sector.

Whether you're looking to expand your professional network, learn more about our programs space, or connect with regional nonprofit leadership, this social is designed with you in mind. Don't miss this chance to start the year by strengthening connections within our fundraising community!

Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2026

Location: Blount Mansion

We look forward to seeing you there!
