WILL YOU BE THERE? Our speaker today, Michael Slaymaker is the recipient for this year’s Barbara Marion Award for Outstanding Leadership to the Association of Fundraising Professional (AFP). Slaymaker will be recognized at this year’s Leadership Academy in Portland, Oregon on October 20.
Michael has more than 25 years of experience in fundraising and nonprofit administration, and has been a member of AFP since 1988.
Slaymaker is currently vice president of grants & planned giving for Easter Seals Florida, but also serves as chapter administrator for the Central Florida Chapter. He’s been actively involved in so many different facets of AFP, from presenting and teaching to mentoring and outreach. He has helped the chapter achieve the Friends of Diversity Designation and Ten Star Gold status, and serves as the chapter’s mentor for incoming presidents, meeting with them regularly. In 2011, he was honored as the Outstanding Fundraising Professional for Central Florida.
In March of 2000, Slaymaker founded the Orlando Anti-Discrimination Ordinance Committee (OADO). This highly successful bipartisan group of volunteers has written and passed 16 different ordinances and policies to secure protection for Central Florida residents from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. He is heard on NPR and is not only active in AFP, but throughout the community as a speaker on fundraising, discrimination, and LGBTQ rights.
Barbara Marion, ACFRE, was the first woman to chair both AFP and the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy board of directors and provided leadership and service to the association in countless areas. This award, named in her honor, recognizes an AFP member who demonstrates outstanding leadership and service to the association and/or its related entities, such as the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy.

Only 3 more days to nominate! We are looking forward to celebrating all that UCF students do to make our community a better place.
