Hear From Your Peers 

"Throughout my nearly 19-year career in prospect research and analysis, Apra has been a go-to source of information -- not only in matters of prospect research -- but across nearly every aspect of an integrated development operation. Best practices, professional networking opportunities, emerging technologies, strategic planning, and tips for more successful interdepartmental integration are all to be found among Apra resources and events."

- Craig Belanger, Director of Development Research, Biola University

"I always come away from the Apra conference with so many nuggets of information. I not only can share with the Research team but Analytics and Major gift officers and Development too. I get so motivated to try new ideas out on the team. Thank you, Apra!"

-Shelly Van Peursem, Sanford Health Foundation

“The Apra conference provides a top-notch experience, not only offering high-quality sessions by subject matter experts but also tending to work/life balance by offering practical meditation and mindfulness resources in easy to access formats. Thank you, Apra. Well done.”

-Prospect Development Attendee

Last year, the Nonprofit Leadership Conference took engaged leadership, a way of leading, as its theme. This year we widen our lens to capture the whole of nonprofit leadership — the meaning, impact, and future of a leadership field that has distinct needs and offerings.

At the 2025 Nonprofit Leadership Conference we will imagine and set the course for a resilient and dynamic future for nonprofit leadership. Placing an emphasis on empathy, relationships, and strategy in our work, we will dream audaciously and plan accordingly for leading in a sector that is highly attuned to its environment and uniquely positioned to introduce change into that environment in partnership with the communities engaging with nonprofits every day.

Attendees will include 400+ nonprofit leaders — emergent to middle to executive, philanthropy professionals, community and civic leaders, students, and Leadership Institute alumni from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. If you attend the conference, you will be able to:

  • Have the space to move outside of reaction mode and into systems-change long-view planning
  • Identify the inequities in nonprofit leadership and map ways to disrupt and dismantle them while imagining fresh alternatives and thus strengthening the field
  • Find and share inspiration and guidance among peer experts
  • Have direct access to the latest leadership research (and researchers!) and discuss ways to incorporate academic findings into on-the-ground practice and strategy
  • Bolster your knowledge of and confidence with nonprofit administration, compliance, operations, communications, and advocacy

2025 Nonprofit Leadership Conference

Thursday, May 29, 2025
8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
