  • The Connection Carousel

    By: CA, Silicon Valley Admin CA, Silicon Valley Admin , yesterday
    Very excited to see you at our Virtual Mixer on August 27th, hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Silicon Valley Chapter Young Professionals and IDEA. As we adjust our new socially distant roles in society, we want to stay in touch any way we can. Zoom will randomly place 3 to 4 individuals into breakout sessions for 10 to 15 minutes. They will give you a chance to chat with small groups. After that, the random selection happens again. New people! Yay! Chat about best practices in fundraising, share frustrations, or talk about what you’ve been watching on Netflix during quarantine. It’s like speed networking! This event is at your own home (you can even wear pajama pants) and is therefore BYOB. Let’s stay social and connected!

    If you have any questions, please reach out!

    Every year, AFP honors chapters for achieving goals that align with key objectives in its long-range strategic plan.
