Add some momentum to your advancement career.

Join us August 14–16, 2007, at Spencer Leadership Centre in London, Ontario, and Hit the Ground Running at the Summer Institute for New Professionals to Advancement.

Are you new to the field of Advancement? Has your office recently hired someone new to the profession? Interested in finding out just how valuable your job is and how it fits in with the big picture?

You’ll network and trade ideas with advancement experts, build lasting friendships with colleagues from coast to coast, and learn practical tips and sure-fire strategies to implement at your institution. The Summer Institute is set up like an intense summer camp (except there’s no tent and much better food). It’s inspiring and comprehensive, educational and social, studious and fun. Most importantly, it’s guaranteed to give you new insights into our profession.

We look forward to meeting you!
