Al Hove, J.D., Principal Counsel & CEO, PHOENIX RISEN Consulting —
President"Over the past 30 years I have been fortunate to serve many nonprofits, in either a staff or consulting capacity. When asked to serve as an officer on the AFPSS board, I saw it as a terrific opportunity to ‘give back’ during a time of transition and great challenge for our profession. Our work includes the need to strengthen the skills and build the pipeline of the next generation of development professionals; and, AFPSS is at the forefront of these efforts."

Jennifer has been involved in nonprofit development work in the Tacoma/Pierce County area since 2003, and credits AFP with helping her gain much of her fundraising education and community partnership work.

When I joined AFP as a newly minted development staffer to now with several years under my belt, AFP has and continues to provide quality education, fellowship and a source of expertise in the field that is invaluable. I am happy to give back a fraction of what I’ve received from AFP by serving on the AFP South Sound board.”

"In my 15 years in Development, I have largely worked as a "one person shop." AFP has provided me with resources, community and friendship! I have found it a wonderful way to engage with other fundraisers in our community...not as competitors, but as colleagues. On both a regional and national level it has provided me with valuable professional development which has made me a better fundraising professional.
I am honored to now serve on the leadership team and work to make AFP even stronger for the South Sound non profit community."
