'Don't Be Afraid to Bark At and Chase the Big Dogs'

Last night at an informal wine and cheese reception to wrap up day one of the 2012 New York Nonprofit Conference, an esteemed group of fundraising professionals addressed those in attendance on the DMA Nonprofit Federation's government affairs advocacy initiatives.

DMA Nonprofit Federation Advisory Council member Gretchen Littlefield, president, nonprofit and government at Infogroup; Linda Woolley, executive vice president, Washington operations for the DMA Government Affairs Team; and Jerry Cerasale, senior vice president, government affairs of the DMA Government Affairs Team discussed some of the successes and issues that are still taking place. But the show-stopper, to no surprise to anyone who knows him, was Angel Aloma, executive director of Food for the Poor and a Nonprofit Federation Advisory Council member.
