A note of encouragement
By Amy Smith, CFREPresident, AFP Triangle The weight of the tragedy over the past four weeks has been a lot. Too much. I felt an immense sadness after innocent people were killed in New York because of the color of their skin. Before I had time to completely grasp or mourn the enormity of that […]

April 2014 President’s Column
I hope you were with us during our most recent breakfast meeting on April 14 when our board’s Triple A attitude– Ask, Answer, Act—was explained. I referenced the member survey we sent out last year where we asked for your thoughts about our work and how we could better serve you, our members. You told […]
