Welcoming a New Season of Connection, Community, and Shared Purpose

The two associations that have long supported your work are now one. This merger marks a new beginning for our members, not as a departure from who we have been, but as a faithful step into who we are becoming.

From the start, our work has been grounded in community, integrity, inspiring creativity and excellence, mutual support, and servant leadership. Those commitments remain unchanged. What has changed is the breadth of opportunities now available to our members, and the strength that comes from walking forward together.

This newly merged AQORD brings together a larger, more connected community of Anabaptist and Quaker-rooted organizations and leaders. With that comes expanded ways to engage, learn, and support one another in the very real, very complex work of health and human services.

What does this mean for you as a member?

It means deeper strength in compliance and consulting—practical guidance you can trust.
It means a clearer, shared voice for what it means to have values-centered Quaker and Anabaptist missions in today’s evolving landscape.
It means expanded networking and peer groups where relationships form, wisdom is exchanged, and no one has to navigate challenges alone.
It means access to mission-aligned services, insurance programs, and a deep bench of expertise shaped by experience, integrity, and care.

Most importantly, it means being part of a broader community of like-minded colleagues and leaders who understand that excellence, faith, accountability, and grace can and must live in tandem with one another.

This new season offers more ways to connect and more doors to open. We invite you to explore what is now available, to lean into the relationships being formed, and to discover how this expanded association can support your organization’s mission and leadership.

New beginnings can feel both reassuring and energizing. Our hope is that you feel both—and perhaps a quiet sense of pride as well. We are grateful to be stronger together, and we look forward to what we will build, learn, and serve together.
