Leading Your Development Officers: The Art and Science of Developing High-Performing Teams

Denver, CO | April 17, 2025 8:30 am MT - April 18, 2025 12:00 pm MT

Learn how to apply your unique talents as a supervisor to positively influence the culture and climate of your gift officer team.

Event Information

Are you ready to lead your development officers with clarity, purpose, and confidence—empowering them to exceed fundraising goals while helping to support a positive culture of philanthropy at your institution?

Development officer leaders play a pivotal role in driving institutional success through philanthropy, but many find themselves unprepared for the complexities of managing high-performing teams. Whether stepping into the role unexpectedly or grappling with the ever-evolving demands of their position, these leaders need the tools, strategies, and insights to lead with impact. 

Why Attend? 
This conference addresses the unique challenges facing leaders of development teams, equipping you with the strategies to:

  • Adapt your leadership style in both normal and high-pressure situations,
  • Harness collective expertise to navigate challenges and drive innovative solutions,
  • Refine performance metrics to sustain long-term fundraising success,
  • Build and sustain high-performing teams that excel under pressure and surpass ambitious goals, and
  • Empower your team through a relationship-driven approach that strengthens connections with donors and maximizes impact.

To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this conference is capped at 30 attendees.

Who should attend?

This conference is best suited for supervisors and leaders of major, leadership, and principal gift development teams seeking to hone their leadership skills, gain practical strategies for team performance, and prepare their development officers for philanthropic success. If you are supervising more than one of these teams, you will also benefit from participating in this experience.

Bring your fellow leaders to develop a cohort of supervisors on your campus! Register 3 or more people and save more than $1,000! Discounts will be automatically applied at checkout.
