The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) supports alumni relations, communications, development, and marketing professionals at educational institutions worldwide. The association provides networking, recognition, and continuing education for more than 64,000 advancement professionals at more than 3,400 colleges, universities, and independent elementary and secondary schools in more than 70 countries. 

CASE District VII represents professionals and institutions in the western region of the United States (Arizona, California, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, Northern Mariana Islands, and Utah). This large geographic area includes every size and type of institution; we celebrate—and gain strength from—the diversity in our membership.

While the main activity of CASE VII is the biennial District VII Conference, we also provide many other educational and networking opportunities. CASE VII institutions sponsor one-day workshops on a variety of topics throughout the district. The district also hosts an annual awards program designed to highlight and recognize the best practices in our profession.

We welcome your participation in any district program. District activities are run by volunteers; if you wish to add your talents to our efforts, please contact us.
