Let's Explore Together

Allison Duffy Llorens
Assistant Director of Donor Relations & Development Services
Louisiana State University

As donor relations professionals, we are no strangers to shifting our plans as a result of sudden change. It is evident from the increased collaboration and communication on ADRP’s listserv and growing affinity groups that we remain even more committed than before to our craft and to ensuring a great donor experience.

I know that each of us is facing an impasse—whether we are early in our careers or seasoned veterans in donor relations, our plans have shifted in unimagined ways. But donor relations professionals are resilient. We know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, right? So join me in embracing and navigating change, together, during ADRP’s virtual event, ADRP Zooms In: Exploring a New World of Donor Relations.

ADRP Zooms In will focus on the challenges we face while still striving to propel our teams forward and navigate the new normal. What excites me most is that this event has been built on feedback gathered through a survey of ADRP members, so it is  tailored to our unique needs and challenges.

This year’s online-only event will feature a carefully crafted schedule of sessions loaded with tools and insights for you to leverage in your toolkit. Immerse yourself in a forward-thinking discussion on accomplishments from colleagues who have transitioned events to digital platforms; expand your knowledge on the landscape of diversity, inclusion, and equity; or explore how to practice successful leadership skills. No matter what your interests are, this event has something for every donor relations professional. I encourage you to zoom in on the event schedule and browse each session to learn more about the dynamic speakers and topics.

Looking forward to exploring with you September 23–24!
