**Andrew Watt is to become the first non-American to be president and chief executive
of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) in the States.**

Watt has served as AFP’s chief programs officer since October 2007, and before that
was president of international development. Before that he worked for nearly 10 
years at the Institute of Fundraising here in the UK, ultimately as deputy chief
eecutive.

The board selected Watt after an extensive, international search. He succeeds Paulette
Maehara, who is retiring after nearly 13 years with the organisation.
