An individual's submission to, or rejection of, sexual advances shall not be used as the basis for employment or membership decisions concerning the individual.</div> <bR> <div>      Other harassing conduct on association or chapter premises and at association or chapter functions, or in connection with chapter activities that creates an offensive and hostile environment, whether it is in the form of physical or verbal harassment, and committed by any member or staff, is also prohibited.  This includes, but is not limited to, repeated offensive language or conduct, unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances, propositions, stalking, continued or repeated verbal abuse of a sexual nature, graphic verbal comments about an individual's body, sexually degrading words used to describe an individual and the display of sexually suggestive or other offensive objects or pictures.</div> <bR> <div>      Unlawful discriminatory treatment which is found to be based upon an individual's race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexual orientation or other legally protected characteristic is also strictly prohibited.  </div> <bR> <div>      Discrimination and/or harassment can occur with a single incident or through a pattern of behavior.  Discrimination and/or harassment can result from a broad range of actions, which may include but are not limited to:  physical or mental abuse, racial insults, derogatory ethnic jokes, unwelcome verbal or physical conduct regarding race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability.</div> <bR> <div>      Any association or chapter employee, volunteer, or member who believes that they have been subjected to harassment may -- but are not first required to -- tell the offender that his or her behavior is unwelcome and ask that it stop.  In cases where the individual may feel uncomfortable confronting the alleged offender, the individual should report the matter to the Chapter President or to the President & CEO of AFP.  Any association or chapter employee, volunteer, or member who has experienced an incident of sexual or other unlawful harassment or discrimination must promptly report the matter to the Chapter President or the President & CEO of AFP.  Such internal complaints are investigated promptly. <B> </B>If the objectionable behavior involves an individual outside of the chapter - </div> <div>      from AFP (a member, board member, volunteer, officer, or staff member) - then the matter should be reported solely to the President of AFP.  If the objectionable behavior involves the President of AFP, then the matter should be reported to the Chair of the Board of AFP.  </div> <bR> <div>      A Chapter President is required to notify and consult with the President of AFP in connection with reports of harassment or discrimination at the chapter. </div> <bR> <div>      Any individual with questions about the internal process or concerns about possible harassment or discriminatory treatment is urged to seek appropriate consultation with the AFP President & CEO.  No individual will suffer retaliation, reprisal or intimidation as a result of reporting an incident or behavior in good faith.  Individuals who fail to follow this procedure may not only lose the opportunity to address their concerns, but may also forfeit certain legal rights, if applicable.  The association maintains confidentiality in these investigations to the extent feasible and consistent with an effective investigation and resolution, and enforcement of this policy.</div> <bR> <div>      Persons determined to have committed acts of harassment against an AFP member, employee, or volunteer may be subject to discipline up to and including removal from chapter and AFP office, termination of employment with the Chapter, and/or revocation of AFP membership.  Depending on the nature of the matter, individuals alleged to be involved in harassing or discriminating behavior may be removed from association and chapter involvement pending the resolution of the investigation.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>Adopted by the Central Ohio Chapter Board of Directors March 15, 2010</I></div> <bR> <div> _________________________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="2008_irs_form_990"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>IRS Form 990</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <a href="HTMLobj-1612/AFP_2007_I-990.pdf"><u>Download AFP Central Ohio 2007 Form 990</u> </a>  </U></B></div> <div> <B><U> <a href="HTMLobj-1613/AFP_Central_Ohio_2008_990.pdf"><u>Download AFP Central Ohio 2008 Form 990</u> </a>  </U></B></div> <div> <B><U> <a href="HTMLobj-1654/AFP_2009_Form_990.pdf"><u>Download AFP Central Ohio 2009 Form 990</u> </a>  </U></B></div> <bR> <div> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="chapter_strategic_planning_process"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>Chapter Strategic Planning Process</U></B></div> <div>  <a href="HTMLobj-1809/AFP_2010_Membership_Survey_Results.pdf"><u>Download 2010 Survey Results</u> </a>  </div> <div>  </div> <div>   Chapter Strategic Plan:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B> <A NAME="central_ohio_afp_chapter_2011_2013_strategic_plan"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Central Ohio AFP Chapter</B></div> <div> <B>Strategic Plan 2011-2013</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Mission Statement</B></div> <div> The Central Ohio Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals exists to promote effective, ethical, accountable fundraising as both a recognized profession and as an essential component of philanthropy.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>GOAL I:  Strengthen chapter leadership through recruitment, training, evaluation, and education.</B></div> <div> <U>Objective 1.</U>     Create a list of committee accomplishments for the year and post on the chapter website by December 31 of every year, beginning in 2010.</div> <bR> <div> <U>Objective 2.</U>     Formalize the nominating process to aggressively seek new talent and diversity and to define eligibility for office by March 31, 2011.
