HOGEWOOD CHAMBERLAIN SCHOLAR
We are proud to support Meredith Hutcheson, our chapterโ€™s Montgomery Hogewood Chamberlain Scholar, who attended AFP ICON this year!

Meredith shared that โ€œit was a great experience and I'm grateful for the support of the chapter.โ€

Investing in professional development is one of the most meaningful ways we can strengthen the future of fundraising in Alabama, and we are proud to honor our long-time chapter member Monty Hogewood who believed in professional development and mentoring. Weโ€™re grateful to help make this opportunity possible. ๐Ÿ’™
