Attention Development, Admissions, Financial Aid and Communications Professionals -

What a year to be in advancement! Never have indicators from your positions been as closely examined. Never has organizational strategy been as linked to advancement objectives. Never have you needed to get away from school more! Take a break, relax, recharge, learn, and prepare.

In the spirit of the theme Communicating The Value of Our Schools, the value of the conference includes:

Reception and dinner on Sunday; Breakfast, lunch and dinner on Monday; and Breakfast on Tuesday
Time to network with peers, and interact with industry experts
Keynotes that are aimed at advancement teams and plenary sessions aimed at your job-specific goals
Structured discussions and facilitated workshops that provide you with tools that you can implement when you return to work refreshed and ready on Wednesday
Energy, excitement and inspiration as only a gathering of PNAIS professionals can generate!

As the school year comes to an end we will have:

Better data about 08-09 and a stronger understanding of the year ahead
Time to take a step back and determine if our strategies have been effective, and
A few last weeks to implement additional strategies that have already been vetted by your peers.

The planning committee is building a program that is innovative and focused on practical solutions that your advancement team can implement, whether you are a team of one or an army of 5.
