Reflections, Momentum, and What Comes Next…
As 2025 draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what an extraordinary year this has been for ADRP and for our profession. Together, we’ve reached some truly remarkable milestones – the successful launch of Fundamentals of Donor Relations, our first International Conference outside of the United States in Montréal, and countless moments of connection and collaboration that remind me why this community matters so deeply.
At every turn this year, I’ve felt that special ADRP energy — you know, the kind that comes from being part of this community. Whether learning alongside peers, volunteering on a committee, celebrating the generosity and innovation within our field, or simply finding moments to connect, it’s been a year defined by partnership and purpose.
Thank you for inspiring and sustaining ADRP’s work. Your commitment has fueled a year of momentum, and now we look ahead to 2026 — a year of focus. Together, we’ll deepen what makes this community exceptional: expanding our reach, elevating learning experiences, and strengthening the systems that help volunteers, members, and donor relations professionals everywhere thrive.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a bright, inspiring start to the new year.
