Insert & make as big as possible <Jerry_Panas_2014_AFPICON.tif>
With this caption: In 2014, in San Antonio, TX, AFP, the Association of Fundraising Professionals, recognized Jerry Panas with its Chair’s Award for Outstanding Service. (That's Jerry, wearing his trademark 'I'm ready for anything' suit and cufflinks).
In introductory remarks, Bob Carter, CFRE, then chair of AFP, said: “The Chair’s Award is a special recognition that is given out only on a few occasions for exceptional services to AFP, fundraising and the entire philanthropic community." >>> If you want to be painfully honest, Jerry Panas probably qualified for AFP's top award pretty much every year; for decades. >>> In a more accommodating and aware global society, Jerry Panas might have well earned the Noble Peace Prize.
Yes, he did that much good. And there was no one else like him.
Until you, maybe? Please be like Jerry Panas. Our crazy, despairing world needs more do-gooders like Jerry Panas.
Many more.
Thousands more.
Billions more, probably.
I have no idea whether Bob Carter, CFRE, matters. Or AFP.
