AFPNCOH Member
Spotlight |
|
 AFPNCOH
member Reverend Ashley Steele has served as executive
director of
Urban Mission in Steubenville for the past two years. She is
passionate about the organization’s mission and helping families
break the cycle of poverty. We recently took some time to get to
know Ashley:
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Seeing life change. Just recently we had a family come to
the Urban Mission homeless. Through a collaborative effort, we found
the couple permanent housing, provided them with transportation and
food, and helped them find a job. This doesn’t happen every day, but
when it does, we all take the time to celebrate!
Why is AFP important to you? I
value how intentional AFP is in connecting fundraisers to each
other. It helps to know there are others out there doing the same
type of work. I also appreciate the subject matter related to
fundraising. I am also enjoying the mentoring relationship I have
with Larry Becker from Golden Rule Consulting.

Philanthropy's
Response to
Changing Demographics |
|
 As one of only a few chapters achieving AFP’s Friends of
Diversity Designation, our local board reaffirms our commitment
to membership that we will continue to embrace and engage diverse
individuals, groups and organizations within the fundraising
professions.
D5's annual State of the Work report is a must-read
for all of us. D5 aimed to determine how the field can increase its
diversity, advance equity, and improve its inclusiveness to reflect
changes taking place within the U.S. populace. The report offers
suggestions for determining how diversity, equity, and inclusion can
help increase effectiveness — and provides concrete ideas for how to
translate those values into action.
