Faster is better. True words no matter whether you’re running on a WordPress site or another platform. And why is speed so important?

Happy Thanksgiving…a week early. In 2009, when I was serving as the President of the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ South Carolina Lowcountry Chapter , I found myself in front of a group of 400 generous, deeply caring people. We had gathered around the table for a meal, to break bread together, to say thank you. It struck me, at that moment, that for the members of AFP this annual celebration of generosity is the charitable community’s version of Thanksgiving.
