Letter From Chamberlain Scholar

Dear Colleagues,  

Thank you for the opportunity to represent our chapter at the 45th AFP International Conference on Fundraising in San Diego this year as the Chamberlain Scholar. I always heard great things about the educational resources available through this conference and although I am certified and have been a fundraiser for nearly nine years, this was my first chance to participate in an AFP International Conference thanks to this award.

I must admit that upon arrival, I was overwhelmed by the vast amount of fundraisers all in the same location at the same time. There were over 4,000 people in attendance from all over the world and I had no idea so many of us actually existed! With that said, a true highlight for me was the California Chapters Reception where I had a chance to meet a few members from our chapter for the first time.

No matter what level a fundraiser has achieved in his or her career, from ACFRE to fundraising 101, there was something for everyone at this conference. Sessions were offered on annual giving, board development, capital campaigns, corporate relations, donor relations and stewardship, foundation relations, management, major gifts, public relations and marketing, professional development, planned giving, public policy and ethics, special events, volunteer development, and technology. The hardest part was just deciding which sessions to attend.

I applied for the Chamberlain Scholarship because I am committed to a long career as a fundraiser. I love working in this field and I want to learn as much as I can. As is the case with most of us, I am working with very limited resources, so this was one experience I was not going to achieve without assistance.

The 2009 International Conference will take place March 29 - April 1, 2009, in New Orleans.

If you are considering attending the 2009 International Conference and need assistance, I highly recommend applying for the Chamberlain Scholarship. Beyond that, I can only suggest making sure to take advantage of the pre-planning opportunities which will be forwarded via e-mail once you register.

I am deeply appreciative. Thank you again.

Wendy Santana, CFRE
