Learn & Lead 2023

April 27-28, 2023

Busse Alumni Center
Purdue University Fort Wayne
Fort Wayne, Indiana



Learn & Lead 2023 is set for Thursday and Friday, April 27-28, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at the Busse Alumni Center of Purdue University Fort Wayne. As we did last year, we start at noon on Thursday and end at noon on Friday, giving you the ability to easily pop into the office on Thursday or head to Fort Wayne in the morning.

We are bringing back, by popular demand, Wayne Olson, planned giving attorney and speaker extraordinaire! His highly entertaining and engaging presentation style will feature segments on the following:
  • How to be a leader, be passionate, and thank creatively
  • Legacy Giving: big gifts - small effort
  • Board fundraising
  • How to do it all the Disney way
  • Donor visit role-playing
As last time, Wayne will be available both days for private visits, questions, etc. with you about your ministry. 

A boxed lunch and dinner on Thursday; continental breakfast and a boxed lunch on Friday; and all the networking you could want are included. The preferred hotel is the Holiday Inn at Purdue Fort Wayne (adjacent to the retreat location).

Pricing will be $199 for one person or $399 for up to 5 people from the organization.
