What is ALSS?

ALSS, the Association of Lutheran Secondary Schools is teaming up with ALDE this year, and offering its annual conference sessions alongside ALDE’s. ALDE members may attend any ALSS breakout, and ALSS members are welcome to attend ALDE sessions. Find out more about this great partner at ALSS.org

Master Classes and Sunday’s Affinity Group Gatherings

Master Classes

Master Classes are designed for the more experienced development professional. These sessions provide more in-depth time with the presenter and content than is available during the regular conference sessions. Sign-up is required so that appropriate space is reserved and the speakers can plan appropriately. For a description of Austin 2009 Master Classes, click here.

Sunday’s Affinity Group Gatherings

Click here to find out more about special Sunday sessions for people involved in specific aspects of the development fields.

Core Course Descriptions

There exists a set of core concepts that are essential to the practice of resource development. Each year core courses may be found in any of three areas: survey, techniques, or issues and trends. They are marked with an ALDE core designation with a challenge to members to attempt to revisit these vital curricular areas on at least an every other year basis in order to acquaint and refresh themselves with core principles and the latest takes on consistent themes.
