As a passionate Christian leader, you want to ensure your organization is utilizing the best strategies and resources to meet its mission, while growing your skills and career. Whether you are an Executive Director, Principal, Director of Development, Marketing Specialist, Pastor, Gifts Officer, Social Media Manger, staff contributor, volunteer, or in any other position involved in nonprofit leadership, fundraising, or marketing, you sometimes find yourself stuck doing the same things that get your organization the same results.

You need a community of fellow Christian development professionals where you can get expert training, networking and resources to help you implement new ideas and proven best practices in your organization. Are you ready to grow beyond the status quo and increase support for the great mission of your organization?

ALDE has been a leading community of faith-based fundraisers for 40 years, and our annual conference, IGNITE: North Texas 2019, is the best place to connect with faith-based colleagues; receive world-class training; learn about new and innovative resources and tools; and grow your skills and talents alongside fellow Christian leaders.

IGNITE 2019 will be held at the Gaylord Texan Resort Hotel and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, January 31-February 3, 2019. Early Bird Registration saves you $175 (ends January 3). There are $300 scholarships available to help make the conference more affordable. Scholarships are first come, first served, and a limited number are available.
