CHAPTER HONORED AS TEN STAR CHAPTER
(
Every year, AFP,
the largest association of professional fundraisers in the world, honors
chapters for achieving goals that align with key objectives in its long-range
strategic plan. Chapters receive the Ten Star Award for performing specific
activities designed to increase professionalism within fundraising and public
awareness of the importance of philanthropy. Of the 200 chapters in AFP, 74
chapters received the Ten Star Award for 2008.
Ten Star Chapters
are recognized at the AFP International Conference on Fundraising. Chapters
also earn the privilege of displaying the Ten Star logo on their chapter page
on their website, newsletters and stationary.
“Chapters that
have earned the Ten Star status have shown their dedication to AFP and the
promotion of ethical and effective fundraising,” said Paulette V. Maehara,
CFRE, CAE. “They serve as models for our other chapters, and I am pleased to
honor their leaders and members for their tremendous work in advancing our
strategic plan and educating the public about the importance of giving and
volunteering."
Criteria for the
award are determined by AFP International Headquarters. A list of several goals
is published annually, and chapters must accomplish 10 of these goals during
the year and submit a nomination form for verification to be honored.
