As we celebrate Black History Month, the Association of Fundraising Professionals - Greater Los Angeles Chapter (AFP-GLAC) recognizes Board Member Yulanda Davis-Quarrie, CFRE, MS. As a seasoned fundraiser, whose career spans over 30 years, Yulanda recalls entering the field, which was historically very White male dominated. She recalls being the only person of color in many spaces, early in her career. She is grateful that today our field is much more diverse, better reflecting the communities we serve. ?“I love the field of advancement! It continues to allow me the opportunity to feel as if I am helping others in a positive way,” Yulanda shared. “Being of service to others is something that I cherish and being a role model to others coming into the field is something that I value – especially women of color.” Her advice to new people entering the field of fundraising is, “get involved with your AFP chapter. The networking you gain from being involved will help you tremendously in your career mobility.” Yulanda serves as the Assistant Vice President of Advancement, leading the philanthropy team at Pitzer College. She has been an active member of AFP for many years, currently serving on the board of directors as the chair of education. A Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) since 1990, Yulanda earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California and her graduate degree in health care management from California State University, Los Angeles.
