Right up there among my top reasons for enjoying the month of February is the Fundraising Professionals of the Year issue. It pains me not to be able to honor every person who was nominated. And for every winner, there are hundreds of others who could just as easily qualify. I hope you enjoy reading about our winners as much as we did. I also hope you'll take a moment to pat yourself on the back and maybe do the same for some of your colleagues. The work you all do can be gruelling. But it's so important. From the FS staff ... thank you.
