“Being in AFP has been so beneficial to me. Since I first joined, my local chapter and AFP Global have supported me in countless ways — membership scholarships, mentorship programs — I even had the privilege of participating in the 2022 Women's Impact Initiative Mentorship Program and attending ICON. It has been incredibly motivating to be surrounded by people who get it, who are willing to share their wisdom with me and support me in my career. Whether that's by being a member, volunteering, or by participating in the Latinx Affinity Group. It's encouraging to meet people who truly want to see you succeed.” - Andrea Carvalho, nonprofit marketing & fundraising specialist
