We had a great time in Dallas last year at the 2014 Christian Leadership Alliance conference, and we can’t wait to do it again this year!

The A Group team will be headed back to the Outcomes Conference next month to gather and share knowledge, provide social media coverage of the event and meet other amazing Christian leaders and world changers. Speakers for this year’s conference include David Kinnaman, Israel L. Gaither, Judge Ken Starr, Walt Wilson, Joni Eareckson Tada and Christine Caine; we know it will be another amazing time of encouragement and growth.

In addition to the general sessions, CLA is designed to be an educational event, empowering Christian leaders to grow stronger in areas such as Internet and technology, communications and marketing, governance, leader, HR and legal. Our very own Maurilio Amorim, CEO, and Diana Marsh, executive vice president, will be leading workshops on both marketing and technology that you don’t want to miss!

• On Thursday at 8 a.m., join them for “Marketing for IT Guys,” an answer to last year’s technology bootcamp for marketers. While your tech team is functionality-minded, they also must understand the big picture and strategy behind the tools they build. Don’t miss this crash course in marketing, branding and what the collision of marketing and technology means for you.
• Do you know where your donors are? We do. Thursday afternoon, at 4 p.m., Maurilio and Diana will help you answer this question by outlining some of the most important marketing and donor development principles you need to know. As new technologies create new avenues for acquisition, potential donors are everywhere, this workshop will help you find them, reach them and compel them to give.

If you were at last year’s conference, you might have seen our social media team running around in our bright orange hashtag shirts, and we’ll be back in action this year, providing official coverage of the event from CLA’s social media platforms (follow them at @CLALeader to make sure you don’t miss a thing!). We would love to have you join the conversation, so be sure to post your thoughts using the official #Outcomes15 hashtag. You might just see your post shared on the official CLA feed!

We have some other fun plans in the works, so be sure to stay tuned for giveaways, opportunities to share your ministry’s story and something “fresh” from us at the event. Most importantly, we can’t wait to meet you, learn about your ministry and discover ways we can work together to go farther and reach more.
