Overview

By registration; This year’s Development and Institutional Advancement Program (DIAP) conference—Better Together: Resources and Relationships to Support All We Do—offers development officers and communications personnel from across the ATS membership a space to come explore the power of collaboration, partnerships, and shared strategies that strengthen our collective work.

We invite you to lean into this opportunity for encouragement and learning together, growing your skills and deepening the community connections that can help you thrive in your work.
