Our Shared Voice 

Every story we tell about donor relations shapes the profession. The language we choose, the impact we highlight, and the leadership we model all influence how our work is amplified, understood, and valued. 

During National Volunteer Month, I am especially mindful that our shared voice is strengthened by those who give their time and talent in service to this community. So much of what moves ADRP forward happens because volunteers offer expertise, perspective, and care beyond our day-to-day roles. Our leadership may not always be visible, but its impact lasts. 

We are also deeply grateful to those recognized through ADRP’s Volunteer Service and Founders Awards. These individuals helped shape ADRP in enduring ways, and it is a privilege to continue building on that foundation.  

If there is someone whose leadership deserves recognition, I welcome your suggestions. When we elevate one another’s contributions and share stories of service, mentorship, and impact, we reinforce the strength of our profession. 

Together, our shared voice continues to rise. 

With gratitude, 

Marian Johnson
President, ADRP
