Development

Planning for growth, acquisition of funds for support and activities of the Southern Council are the focus of Development. The annual Conclave is key among activities undertaken. Development includes contact with business and corporate entities and their financial contributions. Each year a plan is submitted to disclose the fund raising activities of the Council. Maintenance of a five-year historical record of all fund raising contacts and results is submitted as an appendix to the annual plan.

The department of Development has for the past few years has taken a "hands-on" approach with the Council! We have established the REGIONAL DIRECTORS PROGRAM. This is a group of dedicated and experienced individuals who have a direct connection with the Clubs which fall within their Regions!

Help us by contacting your local Regional Director. A list of all is presented to you as well as how they may be reached. We need your help to keep up with the newest information from the Council and National F.F.F. as well as an up-to-date list of officers and contact information on them.

If there is something the individual Regional Director does not have an answer for they will contact me and then I will advise them or find out the answer from others in the Council or the National office and provide it. We are reaching out to you, please reach back and make the connection!
