What ATID members are saying...

"Participating in ATID conferences has not only energized my work, but has helped me to advocate for a title change I've long wanted: Director of Philanthropy, which more accurately conveys the spirit and nature of our work than "development."​

"It's nice to know I am not alone in this very specific work I do."

"ATID is the only group of people who really do what I do! ATID members have been very helpful and responsive to questions, and the group has been a wonderful resource. In addition to learning a lot at the conferences, I find them to be a lot of fun. I usually return with good take-aways and a morale boost."

"ATID helped me to get a raise, promotion, and job opportunities."

"ATID conferences are useful and having connections with other folks doing what I am doing keeps me sane."

"I shared an ATID conference slide with my clergy today and it really resonated. Thanks!"

"ATID has been incredibly helpful both from a technical point of view and the emotional support the members provide."

"I enjoy having the expertise of others doing this work available to me."

"ATID provides invaluable networking and resources. I was even able to improve my job title."
