Leading with Confidence and Managing Change During Your Campaign

Denver, CO | April 10, 2025 8:30 am MT - April 11, 2025 4:00 pm MT


Learn how to better anticipate and course-correct any unforeseen challenges at a moment’s notice during the life of your campaign.

Event Information

Campaigns require considerable commitment from their leaders. Some of the major responsibilities, which may also become challenges in the future, include: 

  • Building and sustaining the upward momentum during the life of the campaign. 
  • Motivating and retaining team members who are likely to absorb additional responsibilities. 
  • Assessing and developing a backup plan if or when your campaign stalls. 
  • Transitioning a new president and adapting to their vision. 
  • Growing campus partnerships that generate big, moonshot ideas that inspire donors. 
  • Communicating the long-term impact of your campaign to your alumni and donors. 

Given these substantial responsibilities, it’s critical for campaign leaders to lead with confidence, maintain an optimistic mindset, and have useful, practical, ready-to-apply strategies and tools should plans not go as planned. At this conference, Academic Impressions and our partners will share tried-and-true facilitation tools and engagement strategies that will help you to create and lead positive collaborative environments that foster learning and creative problem-solving unique to your context. Our leadership framework and tools will not only help you to manage inevitable changes in your campaign path but will also give your team and other critical campus leaders the confidence they need to maintain a successful campaign trajectory for your institution. 

Who should attend?

This conference is for mid-level career and senior team members in advancement from all institution types and sizes, who are either preparing for or in the silent or public phase of their campaign and experiencing ongoing change. If you’re new to advancement and want to learn how to anticipate and manage challenges during the life of a campaign, this program is also ideal for you.
