Even if you think this isn't for you or someone you know, it is! If you aren't Lutheran, it's OK. Yes, we have Lutheran roots, but we've had non-Lutherans attend, and they were just as pleased. If you aren't working in development right now, it's OK. Essentials courses are great for those exploring the profession. Some early attendees were in job transitions, and others were just starting to consider nonprofit work. If you aren't an ALDE member, it's OK. .
