ACAAP SPRING CONFERENCE
Advancing Our Schools
The Business of Catholic Education
Dear Colleague:
In the wake of our first successful Diocesan Development workshop, a new opportunity to share more best practices and learn from colleagues from throughout New England is right around the corner.
The Association of Catholic Admissions and Advancement Professionals (ACAAP) is holding its spring conference. This group provides a great chance to learn. I highly recommend this conference. Perhaps the time has come to increase the presence of Rhode Island's development, admissions and advancement professionals outside the confines of the Diocese. There are some great ideas and programs out there, with proven success.
I would be happy to speak to anyone with questions about the conference and the association.

Please feel free to forward this invite. I am eager to join you in this initiative. I hope you can make the time to join in.
Sincerely,
Carol Anne Costa
