Birgit Burton is the founder and CEO of the African American Development Officers (AADO) Network and chair-elect for the Association of Fundraising Professionals global board. She has the distinction of being the first African American woman in AFP’s 60-year history to serve in this role.

After 25 years of Leadership as the Executive Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations at Georgia Tech, Birgit is retiring to lead AADO full-time, to take the organization to new heights. We wish to congratulate her on her retirement and to celebrate her for all that she’s doing to increase the pipeline of Black development professionals. We could never repay her for all she does to foster more inclusion within the sector.
