This gathering brings together donor relations and advancement professionals from across the Southeast for thoughtful conversation, practical insights, and meaningful connections. My ADRP Live – New Orleans aims to bring to life the questions, discussions, and incredible knowledge sharing that takes place daily in the ADRP member community, My ADRP. The program will feature a dynamic panel discussion alongside time to engage with peers, exchange ideas, and explore new approaches you can bring back to your organization.

Held at the InterContinental Hotel in the heart of New Orleans, the event offers a welcoming and accessible setting to connect with colleagues and recharge your thinking.  ADRP is a proud sponsor of the CASE Annual Conference for Donor Relations Professionals, taking place June 3-5, also in New Orleans. We encourage ADRP members to consider attending both events for a full week of learning and connection, and we warmly invite CASE attendees to join us for the My ADRP Live – New Orleans.

Schedule

Panel Session 1

Scholarships in Practice: Fund Management, Students, and Stewardship Reality
Scholarship stewardship is meaningful—but rarely simple. Underutilized funds, restrictive criteria, evolving equity considerations, and fund management structures often shape donor and student experiences far more than intent alone.

This interactive plenary brings donor relations practitioners together to explore where fund management and stewardship intersect. Through a facilitated panel and guided table discussions, participants will examine real-world challenges related to utilization, fund balances, donor expectations, and student engagement—and share how they navigate constraints while protecting trust and impact.

Panel Session 2

What Donors Need to Know: Rethinking Donor Reporting for Clarity and Impact
Donor reporting is one of our most visible responsibilities—and one of the most challenging. Timelines don’t align. Data arrives late (or not at all). Outcomes are complex or still unfolding. This closing plenary focuses on how donor relations professionals can report responsibly and clearly, even when the story isn’t clean. Through facilitated discussion and real-world scenarios, participants will explore how to frame impact, manage expectations, and communicate with transparency in ways that build long-term understanding and trust.

Attendees will leave with shared language, guiding principles, and renewed confidence in their role as translators of impact—not just reporters of outcomes.
