Day 1 AFP LEAD - let’s get to it. Leadership development in full force. Sold out. Just had an attendee tell me how impressed she was with curriculum - no fluff, all substance. @AFPIHQ Big thanks to all our sponsors and donors ⬇️- we couldn’t do this without you.

Please read my letter in the Chronicle of @Philanthropy today on the importance of showing the salary. bit.ly/3i6oDch This is important. It's not a panacea but it's an important step in achieving racial and gender pay equity. @AFPIHQ #AFPIDEA
