September 27, 2011 Morning Session Working with Older Donors: Opportunities and Obstacles Many of our best and most loyal major donors are senior adults. They may be cognitively aware and independent one day - and confused and vulnerable the next. Health circumstances may change suddenly without our knowledge. Successful development officers have the insights, skills and abilities to assess donor circumstances and to determine whether a gift is in the best interest of the donor. This session will explore the practical, moral, and ethical issues in working with older adult donors, their advisors, and family members. Luncheon Session Changing the World: Social Impact Begins With Us Most of the major social movements and important international changes over the past century have had a philanthropic motivation. Charities and fundraising have been drivers of these changes throughout the modern era and will continue to be so as our governments are overwhelmed by the scope of problems - locally, regionally and around the world - and fraught with political infighting. The pressure will grow on the charitable community to deliver what governments can't or won't do. In today's philanthropic environment, fundraisers hold the key to ensuring continued impact in causes dear to us all. AFP plays a pivotal role in uniting practitioners from the broad spectrum of the fundraising community and helping them understand the challenges charities face. Andrea McManus, CFRE, AFP's chair, and Andrew Watt, FInstF, AFP’s new president and CEO, will discuss the immediate future of fundraising and philanthropy and how AFP helps practitioners address the pressing issues that are affecting the profession, as well as inspire members about the transformational change they can bring about every day.
Andrew joined AFP as vice president for international development in 2006 and was promoted to chief programs officer in 2008, where he led the Membership and Professional Advancement Divisions of AFP. From 1993-2005, Andrew was employed by the Institute of Fundraising in the United Kingdom. In 2006, he was made an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Fundraising in recognition of his extraordinary service to the profession. Andrew has been a strong proponent of the value of the nonprofit community and fundraising throughout his career. Viewing nonprofits as a critical interface between the public and government, he has long emphasized the importance of forging strong consensus-based coalitions both within the philanthropic community and between the public and private sectors that demonstrate the value and impact of charities and their work. Andrew is a graduate of the University of Edinburgh and is married with two children.
Andrea is president of The Development Group, a full-service, strategic philanthropic consulting firm based in Calgary, Alberta. She has over 26 years of experience in fundraising, marketing, and communications. Her firm has helped build the fundraising capacity of many clients throughout Canada and the Bahamas. She was one of the first fundraising professionals in Calgary to receive the CFRE accreditation and has recertified four times. Andrea is an AFP Master Teacher and speaks frequently as conferences and workshops throughout Canada and the United States.
Robbe chaired the Board of Directors of AFP in 2009-10, and currently serves as Immediate Past Chair. She served as a founding member of the AAHSA (American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging) Philanthropy Network. In 2001 the Greater Philadelphia Chapter/AFP named her Fundraising Executive of the Year.

May 24, 2011 Luncheon Presentation - Noon Does Your Thinking Limit Your Success?Lindon A. Crow and Sarah Agee The goal of this interactive session is to have people see the correlation between their "thoughts" and the limited results they see in their life. This presentation focuses on the premise that you can either have the things you want in life or have your reasons/excuses for why you don't have them. To be able to make better choices, we have to start with better premises or paradigms.
