This year, the ADRP International Conference in Minneapolis on Oct 5-7 will feature deep-dive workshops that address leadership development at all stages as well as crash courses in the fundamentals of our profession. We are proud to present leaders in the field that address what is often the stickiest aspects of our work.

Theresa Haenn will focus on finding calm in the chaos and breaking down silos, and Kay Coughlin will guide us in tools to manage up, down and across. Nicole Wood will provide a leadership coaching session, and ADRP veterans Jen McGrath, Eliza McNulty, Mark Lanum, Debbie Meyers and Kathleen Diemer will provide a DR 101 road map if you're just joining the field or want to brush up on the latest in best practices.

The organizing committee has placed careful attention on curating game-changing connections for you through multiple networking opportunities. This year we are bringing back the option to participate in a small-group cohorts to develop close contacts that last beyond conference, a welcome party for all participants, and not one but TWO group excursions!

By investing in your own growth as a self-aware leader (from any seat at the table), you, in turn, strengthen your organization, the field, and the community at large. We are Cultivating a Culture of Care through our work with donors, within teams, and daily exchanges in the workplace. Your work is to inspire generosity through our own generosity of spirit. Register today to fully capture all of the networking and learning opportunities that are scheduled in addition to the fabulous keynotes, intensive workshops, and sessions!

See you soon!
