We can't wait for the Summer Advancement Institute in Nashville, Tennessee on June 17-19, 2024.
Back by popular demand…cohort modules!
 

The CESA Summer Advancement Institute (SAI) is not like other conferences or seminars!  Through the lens of biblical generosity and with you in mind, our time together will be spent propelling your most challenging projects forward. Having received professional instruction and peer feedback, you will gain improved skills and build actionable plans to advance the mission of your institution. At the end of this Institute, you will have made significant progress on a strategic initiative and developed valuable peer relationships.
Registration is now CLOSED.  If you have questions about the Summer Advancement Institute, please reach out to Katie Wiens ([email protected])

According to your unique experience level and needs, you will select ONE module (topic) to explore during your time at the Institute and be placed in a cohort of your peers.  In Nashville, you will begin learning with industry experts who will help ground you in theory and best practice.  Then, throughout the year, your cohort will provide accountability, perspective, encouragement, and guidance as you navigate the challenges and celebrate the milestones of your project.
