SENIOR SALON
December 1, 2009
3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
“Bringing Sexy Back to Diversity and Ethics”
James Phelps, CFRE, Director of Development, ACLU
Nothing’s less sexy than making embarrassing cultural blunders with donors. Wouldn't it be nice to learn from others and avoid the potential of personal embarrassment? Hear about some errors fundraisers have made working with people of different cultures and what you can do to avoid missteps. You’ll see how easy it is to “engage” people of different cultures rather than “enrage” them! Mr. Phelps serves on the AFP Oregon and SW Washington Chapter Board and as Chair of the Diversity committee for AFP International. He brings 19 years of experience in fundraising and development work.
The Senior Salon Series is presented at no charge to AFP chapter members but registration by November 27th is required because space is limited.
