About the Talk

Transform your relationship with money to reflect your values and priorities – build authentic relationships with donors that can become extraordinary collaborations between public and private partners.

About Reverend Childers

The Reverend Clayton Childers is currently the Director of Advocacy at the Imagine No Malaria Campaign, an extraordinary collaboration between public and private partners raising $67 million to end deaths and suffering from malaria.  Before assuming his current role, Rev. Childers served as a pastor of local congregations in Virginia and South Carolina for 14 years.  His experience, combined with his visionary leadership, has built working relationships with stakeholders small and large, making them partners rather than donors alone.  His work demonstrates how budgets can serve as a moral guide not only for individuals and families, but also for institutions and governments.

About Connection

Connection isn’t just an event, it’s an experience. Each year the Connection event brings together thought leaders from the youth service field to make unexpected connections that break through the status quo.  A refreshing line up of brilliant speakers challenge practice-as-usual and provide participants with the opportunity to learn about and discuss key issues in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Our innovative format means that you don’t just listen to thought-provoking presentations and fresh ideas, you have the chance to discuss and build upon them. Our broad, multi-sector network means that you can expect the opportunity to talk with familiar colleagues, reconnect where you may have lost touch, and get connected with those outside your network.   Even our nontraditional space provides inspiration to move, think, and speak freely. Want to spread the ‘gospel’ about partnering through positive messages?  Your network may benefit from Reverend Childers’ message, too.
