AFP-GLAC’s Eye on Ethics - The Perfect Candidate?
Michael Driebe, AFP-GLAC Board Treasurer and President of Methodist Hospital Foundation recently shared with me a story about reaching out to AFP Global when he was interviewing candidates for a position at Methodist Hospital Foundation. The following is his story:
“As a long-standing member of AFP through the Greater Los Angeles Chapter, the international organization has always felt somewhat distant and less significant to me than the local one. That perception changed recently over an issue of ethics. We are currently seeking a major gift officer and through a recruiter found a candidate who appeared to be the perfect fit. His resume and interviews highlighted longevity, a track record of remarkable performance, expertise in everything from special events to planned gifts, as well as, outstanding leadership experience. A subsequent on-line search, however, turned up a bit of disturbing information. His name appeared as having been sanctioned by AFP. I clicked on the link, but since it was no longer active I called the office in Alexandria, Virginia. I reached a staff member who confirmed that someone with the same name as my candidate was sanctioned for violating one of AFP's twenty-five ethical principles and was "banned for life from membership" in the organization. She went on to explain that the record was sealed and that she could not discuss the particulars of the case.”
