About this Event

Join Us for Central Ohio AFP's Inaugural Book Club!

We're excited to announce a new program for the Central Ohio fundraising community: a book club! Gather together with your fellow fundraisers to discuss books (and other publications) that inspire, educate, and encourage.

For our first book, join us in reading The Serviceberry, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This extended essay by an Indigenous scientist and author is a thought-provoking examination of reciprocity, gift economy, and gratitude. It challenges us, as representatives of the public sector, to consider the ethics of wealth distribution and how community fills in the gaps left by government systems.

We will be gathering to talk about this first selection on March 27th, 2026 at the Main Library. The conversation will be moderated by Natalie Dunn-Billings, current VP of Finance for the chapter. This will be a casual, round-table discussion and all are welcome to participate.

Registration is free, but space is limited, so please reserve your spot early.
