AFP-GLAC Chapter President Responds To Los Angeles Times Article

Dear Colleagues:

On Sunday, July 6th, 2008, the Los Angeles Times published an extensive front page article about Commission-based fundraising.  As you are aware, AFP views all such activity as unethical.  Therefore in response to this article, the following letter was sent to the Editor.  Knowing the Times may fail to print this letter or choose to “selectively edit” it, I thought you should see the entire unedited version.

Any credit for the message goes to the AFP staff who were extraordinarily responsive to our request for assistance in crafting it and to Carol Numrich, a former GLAC President, for alerting the cavalry to our need. 

Please feel free to contact me or the chapter office should you have additional questions or concerns.  Thank you as always for your interest and participation.

Jan

Janice H. Rice, CFRE
President, AFP/GLAC
