Seize the opportunity to join one of the 2024 AFP Greater Detroit Chapter Committees and you'll grow and improve our chapter, promote ethics and values, put on memorable programs, and help advancement professionals learn from industry leaders (and each other) while gaining experience in new areas of fundraising. Everyone in AFP leads busy lives but committee participation is reasonable, doable, and worth it beyond measure.  Please contact our Membership Committee Chair, Hailey Priebe, at hpriebe@voami.org for more information.
