On August 9^th of 2007 the North Carolina Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) held their annual state conference in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The conference was represented by nonprofit organization from across the state.  There was a wide variety of speakers during the one day event that featured two morning sessions, the keynote speaker at lunch and an afternoon session.  The day was filled with great information and the opportunity to network with other professionals in the industry.  If you are associated with fundraising for a nonprofit organization and not a member of AFP, you are missing some very important information.
