The conference is being held November 3 through November 7 at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa in Lost Pines, Texas. Abila says the VARs are its top earnings partners. It gave special mention to Doylestown, Pa.-based McGovern Consulting Group, headed by Dennis McGovern, which says it had the highest year-over-year growth of its 52 partners.

The leaders of the other President's Circle members are Kevin Massey, president and CEO of NonProfit Technologies, Jacki Tiso, CEO and founder with JMT Consulting Group; and Michael Golub, founder with NP Solutions.

Abila was formed earlier this year after its financial backer, Accel-KKR, purchased the nonprofit group from Sage. Recently, the company announced the renaming the former Sage line, including the revival of the name MIP. The former Sage 100 Fund Accounting is now known as Abila MIP Fund Accounting.

The award to McGovern came as that business announced the formation of a subsidiary, rue North Endeavors, to focus on developing video training, simplifying integration and application development for MIP.
