ACFRE, FAHP The first few years present several challenges beginning with learning about the “cause” of the new employer, their current fundraising programs, meeting new volunteers, donors and prospects, and more.

This session also will review the contents of “A Donor Bill of Rights” and the “AFP Code of Ethical Principals and Standards” as well as the several “ratings” and scores used by various “watchdog” groups in public reports on nonprofit conduct. Our speaker will be Jim Greenfield, ACFRE, FAHP, a veteran fundraiser with 40 years of experience as a fund development staff leader. He retired from Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital in February 2001 after 14 years as Senior Vice President, Resource Development and Executive Director, Hoag Hospital Foundation.
