ADRP Conference & Workshops

ADRP holds an international conference at a different site across the United States each year that offers a rich and rewarding opportunity to network with colleagues and learn about the emerging best practices within the stewardship and donor relations profession. Conference topics generally cover stewardship, donor relations, special events, gift accounting and acknowledgment, endowment fund management, and the application of technologies and procedures in these general areas, as well as career growth for professionals. Whether you are a newcomer or an experienced veteran, there is always a program track designed to meet your professional development level. As an ADRP member, you always qualify for discounted conference registration fees.
