(ABC 6 News) — The Southern MN Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) announced two scholarships for local nonprofit professionals to attend the annual AFP ICON Conference.
The two scholarship recipients are Brian Hale, of the Hormel Institute, UMR, and Ellen Heydon, of exEllent designs, LLC.
This international conference gathers professional fundraisers from all over the world once a year to learn, grow and network. Attendees hope to gather as many fundraising best practices as possible to bring back to their local communities and to make the nonprofit organizations they represent more successful.

We are thrilled that several others from our chapter will be attending, as well.

This year’s conference will be held in Seattle in April.
The Southern MN Chapter of AFP also announced a new slate of board members governing the local AFP chapter at the beginning of this calendar year:
