Connecting With Community The goal of the annual AFP COMPASS 2025 is designed to build a sense of community for not-for profit organizations involved in Fund development, Communications, Government Relations, Boards, Management and Leadership. This is achieved by providing leading-edge education sessions led by subject-matter experts and offering ample opportunities to network and engage one-on-one. As a result, participants will return to their respective organizations and communities feeling inspired and equipped with new knowledge and strategies. Sponsors contribute to this goal by interacting with, and showcasing products and services of benefit to these organizations in carrying out their missions while gaining exposure, connections and business leads. AFP COMPASS 2025 theme: Buckle UP, Dive In and be Inspired. |
