If they are entirely new to advancement services - with zero background our experience - then I would strongly suggest CASE's Summer Institute in Advancement Services. I would absolutely schedule them for aasp Summit in Chicago this September. If they are new to the profession, they should attend the newcomers pre-conference workshop at Summit. There are no Summit details posted yet, but the conference dates are September 9-11. Personally, unless you have more information to share about this individual's background, what areas they will oversee, and whether they have led similar activities elsewhere, it probably makes the most sense to let the person come on board, and themselves figure out what they need PD in. They might have basic AS experience but missing details in certain areas like prospect development, donor relations, IT, etc. More focused training might be a solution. Budget is going to dictate - SIAS is anything but cheap! The Earlybird rate for CASE members is $2,370. aasp Summit, on the other hand, is $425 (Earlybird) for aasp members. John John H.

    I try to get to the AASP conference each year and view that as the signature conference for our profession. If time and budget allow, I also like to attend CASE DRIVE/ each year. CASE DRIVE/ takes the data aspects of our work to the cutting edge level so I always walk away with new ideas on the future of our work.
