Programs & Events
At AQORD, connection is more than a benefit — it’s a catalyst for mission impact. Through conferences, peer groups, and leadership development opportunities, members gain access to a trusted community of leaders and professionals who share common values and a commitment to excellence in faith-based health and human services.
Annual gatherings and conferences provide space for member inspiration, learning, and renewal. They bring together executives, emerging leaders, and governance teams to explore current issues, celebrate innovation, and strengthen collaboration across the AQORD network.
Throughout the year, AQORD Peer Groups create ongoing opportunities for leaders and professionals in similar roles to connect, solve problems, and share resources. These groups foster genuine community and provide practical support for the daily challenges of nonprofit leadership.
Leadership development is a central pillar of AQORD’s mission. Through programs such as Executive Circle, the Leadership Institute, and the Internship Program, we help cultivate leaders at every level — equipping them with the skills, confidence, and spiritual grounding to guide organizations with integrity and vision.
Each of these offerings is designed to strengthen both individual leaders and the organizations they serve. By engaging with AQORD’s networking and events, members expand their capacity, build relationships that last, and gain renewed energy to advance their missions with purpose and excellence.
