This year's annual conference will be held Tuesday, October 8th at the Plymouth Community Center! Join Apra-MN and your fellow prospect development professionals for a day of learning, networking, and community-building.
More details coming soon -- we'll be sure to keep you posted through email as well as on our website: apra-mn.org.
We are seeking engaging presenters to share their expertise with prospect development professionals from across Minnesota. We would love to see content related to all core domains of prospect development, including (but certainly not limited to!): prospect research, relationship management, data science, or leadership. Our goal is to offer a variety of sessions for both experienced researchers and those new to the industry, so we welcome topics aimed at beginner-level audiences as well as more advanced content. If you know someone with unique expertise in a topic you would like to hear more about, encourage them to apply!
Congratulations to the winners of our Apra-International 2024 PD Conference Scholarship!
Michaela Reinardy, Allina Health
