Education

The ACGA provides various educational opportunities through quarterly webinars and our biennial conference.

What is the focus of the ACGA conference curriculum?

At its biennial conference the ACGA seeks to offer education in three areas:

• Introductory education for new planned giving officers
• Continuing education for experienced planned giving officers
• Administration, practical considerations, and technical guidance for gift annuity programs. Providing this information for a charity’s treasury, finance, and business officers is a hallmark of the ACGA conference.

It is important to note that education in all three areas is not restricted to charitable gift annuities. Our Conference Committee solicits the highest quality speakers from across the country to make presentations on topics ranging from marketing, program management, donor relations, gift planning technical issues, prospect research, and the financial, investment, and legal considerations of gift planning programs.
