Second Annual Philanthropy Institute is a Huge Success
The
Community
Foundation of Western North Carolina partnered with this
AFP chapter for the second time to bring a nationally known
speaker to Asheville for the Philanthropy Institute.
Jerry
Panas energized over 150 development professionals who
attended his presentation. Jerry sent a letter to the committee
after the Institute to let us know that he “thoroughly
enjoyed my time with your group…I’m ready for
a return engagement!” Participants were enlightened
by Jerry with one participant stating, “He was so entertaining
and enthusiastic. He is the most knowledgeable speaker I have
ever heard speak on philanthropy.”
Workshop attendees had the following to say about 2005’s
Institute:
• “Very impressed – refreshing to get with
others and focus on our profession.”
• “It inspires me and renews my energy and is
good networking.”
• “This was my first Philanthropy Institute. Overall
I would say it was well planned and implemented. Speakers
were interesting and knowledgeable in their fields, venue
was great, food was good and subject matter was pertinent.
Thanks!”
Thanks to the sponsors, especially Mission Healthcare Foundation,
the committee, and the presenters for their gifts of time,
talent and financial resources to make this year’s Institute
a success.
