Join us for an informative session on starting and managing the annual fund.  Mistakes to avoid, key components to include – you’ll learn them all from a veteran CFRE-credentialed pro.

Alan launched a new development effort at Living Waters and has grown the annual fund to more than one million dollars in just two years.

Prior to moving to Southern California in 2009, Alan was the Chief Development Officer for Rehoboth Christian School, a K-12 school in northwest New Mexico and has served in many capacities in AFP chapters.
