","The documents are generally arranged chronologically by the President of\nthe Chapter, though in some cases they are also arranged topically. The original order of the documents was\nmaintained. ","In January of 2001 the National Society of Fundraising Executives (NSFRE) changed its name\nto Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). The Society had begun when the National\nSociety of Fundraisers (NSFR) was chartered by the state of New York in June 1960.\nThe first local chapter of NSFR was founded in New York City in July 1964 and had formerly\nbeen known as the Association of Fund Raising Directors (AFRD). In May 1965 the second\nchapter of NSFR was formed when the Fund Raisers Association of the National Capital,\nlocated in Washington, D.C., also joined NSFR. By the end of the 1970s there were 23\nchapters, including one in Canada. In 1977 NSFR moved its national offices from New York\nto Washington, D.C. and changed its name to the National Society of Fundraising Executives\n(NSFRE).\nThe First Virginia Chapter of NSFRE began formally meeting in October 1981. The name of the\nchapter was selected because it was the first chapter in the state of Virginia. Though the official\ncharter date of the First Virginia Chapter of NSFRE was March 1982, preliminary meetings\nbetween founding members Clai Wilcox and Jesse Kent go back to early 1981. The first chapter\nnewsletter was published in October 1981 and reported on the election of the first president\nof the chapter, Claiborne (Clai) Wilcox, Jr. In December 1981 the National Board of NSFRE\napproved the charter of the First Virginia Chapter of NSFRE, which became the 38th chapter of\nNSFRE.\nFrom the beginning, a primary purpose of the new chapter was to provide educational\nopportunities for members and the fund raising community. So the chapter began a successful\nseries of institutes on fund raising, which became a national model for fund raising education.\nCertification became an important issue for the chapter, and many members sought and achieved\ncertification.\nChapter meetings were held on the second Tuesday of the month and the chapter’s newsletter\nwas named The Second Tuesday in July 1982.\nThe second (1983) president of the chapter, Jesse (Jess) E. Kent, collected and retained a large\nportion of the records contained in this collection. His records are by far the most numerous\nof the chapter presidents and extend far beyond his years in office, into the tenures of other\npresidents. ","The collection of First Virginia Chapter, Association of Fundraising Professionals Records\n1981-1997 is contained in 5 record storage boxes, a total of 6.25 linear feet, and is located in the\nVirginia Room of the Roanoke Public Libraries in Roanoke, Virginia. All materials are foldered\nin acid free, labeled folders.\nThe collection contains correspondence, financial records, membership lists, meeting agendas\nand minutes, newsletters, statements of goals and objectives, by-laws and other official records.\nThere are many documents, programs, brochures and various records relating to institutes,\nconferences, workshops, and other educationally related professional activities sponsored by the\nchapter and other professional organizations for fund raisers, including the National Society of\nFundraising Executives (NFSRE). Also included are detailed lists of presenters and attendees at\ninstitutes, workshops and various events sponsored by the chapter. Newspaper clippings related\nto chapter members and activities are interfiled with related materials. Some audio cassette tapes\nand VHS video tapes of educational programs are included among the other materials.\nThe oldest dated run of materials in the collection coincides with the tenure of the first president\nof the chapter, Clai Wilcox, at the time of the founding of the chapter in 1981. The latest\nmaterials in the collection are from the tenure of chapter president Harold Uhl in 1997.\nThe original order of the materials was retained in processing and there are several roughly\nchronological sequences in the collection, which mostly follow the tenures of the chapter\npresidents. However the order of materials is not strictly chronological and some presidential\npapers are not chronologically arranged. But to preserve the original order of the materials,\nthe various series are arranged by presidential tenures as they appeared in the unprocessed AFP\nCollection. And the bulk of many of the materials come from the files of Jesse Kent, the second\npresident of the chapter, who held the office in 1983, and who carefully collected and retained\na large portion of the records contained in this collection throughout his association with the\nchapter. His records are by far the most numerous of the chapter presidents and extend far\nbeyond his years in office into the tenures of other presidents. Some of the chapter presidents\nretained fewer records and so the documentation of their time in office is not as complete as\nothers.\nThe presidents of the First Virginia Chapter, Association of Fundraising Professionals, from\nthe founding of the chapter through 1997, were: Clai Wilcox (1981-1982), Jesse Kent (1983),\nJerry Ocorr (1984), Everett Werness (1985), J. Andreé Brooks (1986), David Prestipino (1987),\nJennie Sue Murdock (1988), Donna Massey (1989), Bob Kulinski (1990), Jared (Jerry) Close\n(1991), Bill Bowen (1992), Linda Dodge (1993), Nancy Prillaman (1994), Gail Gregory (1995),\nKatherin Anderson (1996), and Harold Uhl (1997).
