President's Message for AFP London & Region Website
July 2022
As AFP London and Region Chapter navigated our second year, it became clear that once again we would need to adapt our plans and work to find creative ways to engage and stay connected with our members in a virtual world.
Earlier this summer, after two years as a chapter, we were incredibly grateful to host our first in-person event and connect with some of our members for the first time ever in “3D”. We remain hopeful that we will be able to host safe, in-person events throughout 2022-2023 and we look forward to meeting many more of our members. Thank you to our loyal sponsors who have made it possible for us to provide virtual events and professional development sessions over the past two years. We look forward to having you join us in person as well.
Our third year will be bringing some more changes, in line with AFP Canada and AFP Global, including to our Board of Director Terms and our website…stay tuned for updates. In the coming year, the membership can also expect to hear from us as we seek your feedback on what you want to see from your chapter and how we can best support you. It is important to us that we are providing our members with tangible benefits, including opportunities for professional development, scholarships, and networking.
We know that each of you have faced challenges over the past two years and we want to thank you for your continued commitment to the sector, to the communities you serve, and to your AFP chapter. We have proven that together we are stronger, and we look forward to embarking on the next year with you.
Warmest regards,
Shannon LaHay
President, AFP London and Region Chapter
