The Time Is Now… and We Can’t Wait to See You!
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The countdown is on! The 2025 NAD Generosity Conference is just around the corner, and we are eagerly looking forward to welcoming each of you to Bloomington, Minnesota, this August 5–7, at the Radisson Blu–Mall of America.
This year’s theme, “The Time Is Now,” is a bold reminder that our calling as Planned Giving and Trust Services leaders is both timely and eternal. Now is the time to commit, to serve, to grow—and to go where God is leading.
This conference is more than a certification requirement—it’s a sacred opportunity to:
- Stay current with giving trends and charitable planning strategies
- Network with fellow PGTS professionals across the Division
- Recharge spiritually through worship, testimonies, and mission stories
- Leave inspired to fulfill the unique role God has placed in your hands for such a time as this
We’ve curated an incredible lineup of presenters, including:
- Dwain Esmond – EGW Estate
- Dr. Russell James – Texas Tech Renowned professor, researcher and expert in charitable giving
- Paul Douglas – General Conference
- Randall Hallett – Hallett Philanthropy
- Judy Glass– North American Division
- Charles Eusey, Esq. – Charitable estate planning
- Rachelle Busselle, Randy Possinger, Kenneth Iwakoshi – Loma Linda University Health
- Marcy Heim and many more exciting topics!
This year, we’re especially honored to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Attorney Rick Caldwell in recognition of his decades of excellence in service, leadership, and commitment to the mission of PGTS. Please join us in celebrating his legacy and contributions to our field.
We’re also excited to introduce a new Employment Opportunity Kiosk, where entities can share job openings and connect with potential candidates. Whether you’re looking to hire or exploring your next step in ministry, this is a meaningful way to strengthen our workforce and expand mission impact, so make sure you bring details to share.
Be sure to register today and book your hotel through the official event website to reserve your spot for this exciting and spiritually enriching event. Staying on-site at the Radisson Blu–Mall of America is strongly encouraged—it maximizes fellowship, simplifies logistics, and enhances your overall experience.
AND you wont want to miss our opening event—“Mission Playmakers” Welcome Reception on Monday evening! It’s a fun, sports-themed kickoff where you’re invited to wear your favorite team jersey and enjoy fellowship with purpose.
Regular registration closes last day of June, so don’t wait. If you know someone who is certified, has transitioned roles, or is considering certification, please share this newsletter with them.
We can’t wait to gather, grow, and glorify God—together.
See You Soon!
