Relationships: with our colleagues, our leaders, our donors, our communities. They are at the core of everything we do in the field of donor relations.
At the 2022 Midwest Regional Conference, we are planning an exciting lineup of speakers who will help us explore just a few of the many personal connections that give meaning to our line of work focusing on industry best practices and innovations.

Network with your colleagues and gather new ideas and tools that you can implement in your own shop. A special rate at a local hotel will be arranged – please stay tuned for information coming soon.

So head over to Evanston and pull up a chair. We can’t wait to see you!
