Keynote Speaker
We are excited to announce that the keynote address this year will be given by Art Taylor, the newly appointed President & CEO of AFP Global.
Art brings over two decades of leadership in ethical and transparent philanthropy from his tenure at the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. He has elevated national standards for giving, launched innovative platforms like AskGive.org and GiveSafely.io, and hosted the acclaimed Heart of Giving podcast. Now, as the leader of AFP Global, he is focused on strengthening chapter connections, promoting accessible education, and championing the values that guide our profession: fairness, openness, respect, grace, and empathy.
We are deeply honored to welcome Art to San Luis Obispo for this momentous occasion. His visit is part of AFP Global’s renewed commitment to partnering with chapters—especially on the West Coast—and we anticipate a sold-out event with over 220 attendees from across the nonprofit and business sectors.
