As Development professionals engaged within the senior or elder care community, we have found a tremendous need to form an organization for mutual support and education.

Raising funds for senior needs is often a difficult and lonely profession.  Other professional organizations tend to "lump" senior care development with social services or healthcare organizations and pay little attention to our unique needs or concerns.

Participants have indicated that our meetings are their greatest priority among other offerings because they directly address issues that impact their ability to raise funds.

Officers elected at the November 2011 business meeting:

  • John M. Sentgeorge, President
  • Laurel Shaffer, President Elect
  • Sherry Heim, Secretary
  • B. A. Smith, Treasurer
  • Sharon Engle, Director
  • Vernon Wright, Director
