AFP Cares!
“A fellow development professional talked to me about AFP, way back when it was a small group. They convinced me it would take off. AFP was instrumental in making development work a profession and supporting others in the field. Now there are so many opportunities through AFP for development professionals. It’s great to see where we are now!”

“Invaluable” experience
“Being a member of AFP Greater Madison is so worth it. It’s that monthly touch with your colleagues, you can’t put a price on that. It’s invaluable. As development professionals, we can always reach donors, but not always each other to share our successes and challenges.”

“It’s a privilege to belong to AFP Madison and all the great people that are a part of it. We are all doing good work, this helps bring us together.”
