Episode 14 - Show the Salary

#ShowtheSalary has arrived in Canada. Started in the UK as a movement toward more fair, equitable and just hiring practices the Show the Salary movement is sweeping the entire charitable sector and is quickly becoming considered best practice.

The Association of Fundraising Professionals, Greater Toronto Chapter has adopted a new policy that all job postings include the salary. This is kind of a big deal, because a significant part of this chapter’s revenue is generated from their job postings. So financially it is a pretty bold move and sets a great example for other job posting services. In fact, this week the Canadian Association of Gift Planners made the same commitment. The tide is turning.

Today we are thrilled to welcome Amy Pawluk and Penny Connors to share more about how and why the AFP Greater Toronto took this important step.

Amy Pawluk, is the President of the AFP Toronto Chapter and has been involved in the chapter as a volunteer since 2011. She is driven to advance fundraising as a profession, works as Executive Vice President, Marketing and New Business development at Blakely Inc. and is proudly raising her little girl to be a strong and caring women.

Penny Connors holds degrees in Psychology and Business Administration from York university, is a certified association executive and is currently applying her extensive management experience to delivering the AFP Toronto Chapter’s strategic plan as she serves as the Executive Director of the Association of Fundraising Professionals greater Toronto chapter.

A very special thank you to the army of volunteers that initiated the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessiblity priorities at the Toronto chapter over the years. These changes take time and are often the results of tireless efforts from many people who demanded change over many years. This policy is another small step toward a more inclusive, equitable and just charitable sector.
