Interested in Service on the AFP Chicago Board of Directors?

The AFP Chicago Committee on Directorship invites the development community to consider future service on the Board of Directors.  Strong leadership is a hallmark of AFP Chicago and we encourage highly motivated and committed members to consider volunteering for board service.  

Who are we looking for?
AFP Chicago seeks directors who are committed to the non-profit sector and to advancing philanthropy in the organizations and communities they represent.  Directors are committed to ethical practice, donor rights, and other tenets of AFP International.  AFP Chicago is strongly committed to embracing the diversity that makes up our greater Chicagoland community. We seek nominees who:

• Have been active AFP members (Chicago or other chapters) during each of the past two years;
• Have strong leadership and service orientation, interests, and experiences;
• Serve a cross-section of Chicago’s diverse communities; and
• Represent diversity of professional focus, age, race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and geography.

Board & Staff

The AFP Chicago Chapter Board of Directors is an all-volunteer board that is made up of 22 members. Their role is to ensure the policies and procedures established by the chapter are fulfilled. Please click here for more information on board service and AFP Chicago Pathways to Leadership.
