Affiliate Connect: Marketing Your Mission to Foster Tangible Growth

Wed, 10/15/2025 - 2:00pm EDT to 3:30pm

In a new fiscal year we have a new format for Affiliate Connect meetings with changes designed to increase the benefit to Affiliate Dioceses. Affiliate Connects remain open only to persons in Affiliate Dioceses. Not sure if you are in an Affiliate Dioceses? Check here.

New this fall:

  • Expanded time for more networking time! Affiliate Connects are now one and a half hours. We will start with 15 minutes of open sharing in breakout rooms, keeping you with your peers. Following a presentation on a topic inspired by feedback after previous Affiliate Connects, you will have more time to discuss with peers, finishing with about 10 minutes of large group processing or questions.
  • Open to diocesan AND parish leaders! Registration links will be sent to diocesan disability ministry leaders one week prior to the event and we ask them to share the invitation with parish leaders. 

October's topic: Marketing Your Mission to Foster Tangible Growth

This presentation explores integrating mission-based programs with advocacy and performance marketing into a unified strategy for nonprofit organizations that ultimately need to serve more communities and larger audiences. We’ll discuss the limitations of one-time outreach and the accelerating power of reaching crucial audiences  through effective marketing.
