Reflections and Lessons from two Successful Women Philanthropists
Join us for a frank discussion with Noel Lichtin of the Lichtin Family Foundation and Betty Craven of the Warner Foundation.
Strategic philanthropy requires research, knowledge, site visits, personal involvement and a passion for the causes one supports. Betty Craven and Noel Lichtin direct their family foundations by investing their time, talents and resources with intention and focus. This session provides an opportunity to learn from two seasoned givers about how they make decisions and their expectations for stewardship from their beneficiaries.
Beth Briggs, President, Creative Philanthropy is moderating the program.

Avoiding Ethical Nightmares.
Presented by Eli Jordfald, CFRE

This presentation will examine some of the issues that many of us have dealt with on an almost daily basis through real life examples and case histories. You will get a glimpse into the world of ethical nightmares faced by other development professionals around the country and learn how they tackled them.

The AFP Code of Ethical Principles and Standards of Professional Practice has been identified as the most significant benefit of membership in AFP! In fact, one might say that we and our organizations “live or die” by this code.

We will help answer some of the most common questions and misconceptions about ethics and conflicts of interests. This session will challenge your thinking about how you can use vitally important tools to advance your organization. After all, ethics has a very significant impact on your bottom line!
