Congress 2012: November 19-21 Toronto, ON

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the AFP Toronto Greater Toronto Chapter, I invite you to submit a proposal to speak at Congress 2012  - Canada's premier conference on fundraising.
 
Each year, Congress is successful because of the willingness of professionals like you to share their knowledge and experience.  We are deeply grateful for your interest in being a part of our faculty this year. 
 
We have divided the educational sessions into four types:  workshop, lecture, case study, and discussion.  This is in recognition of the varying ways that adults learn and that presenters prefer to deliver content.  With these choices now available, we ask you to imagine how to best engage your prospective audience in your subject. Our Red, Yellow, and Green audience targeting process helps delegates better determine the content's appropriateness to their individual situations and to ensure that you are working with audiences suited to your content.
 
Congress has become one of our profession's most significant annual educational conferences because people like you are dedicated to the highest standards of fundraising practice.  Thank you for your interest in helping AFP Greater Toronto to create and deliver another exceptional experience.
 
Paula Attfield                                   
Education Chair, Congress 2012

Increasing donor retention is critical to fundraising success. If we segment our donors effectively and communicate with them creatively, we end up with more loyal donors who have higher retention rates and make larger gifts. Rosemary Oliver, CFRE

Within four years a strong integrated social media strategy will be just as important for every charity as a strong website strategy is today. Now is the time to learn, prepare and develop the social capital needed to secure your success online and offline. Ted Hart, ACFRE

It's an exciting time to raise funds... If you think about the process and your role in it as a conduit for generous Canadians to affect long-lasting positive change in this world, you will never be short of motivation to "make the ask." Philip Tomé
