“AFP is such a wonderful professional resource. The local chapter, however, brings membership to life. From accessible specialized programs, to the multitude of networking opportunities, and even the personal interactions with fundraising professionals in our area that can enrich lives and careers, I feel fortunate to be connected to such a wealth of knowledge, experiences, and resources through the members and leadership of AFP Western Maryland.”

March is Women's History Month, an annual celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture and society. It's a time to reflect on the often overlooked contributions of women to our history. 💜

💬 As you reflect on this month, who are some women who have made an impact on your life or professional career, and how can you honor them?

AFP is committed to the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity and access (IDEA) in the fundraising profession, the philanthropic sector and throughout all of society.
