As we approach Giving Tuesday, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the transformative power of generosity and community. For Apra, one important way that transformation happens is through the Apra Foundation. Foundation donors open access to educational opportunities that empower and inspire members of our community, helping them grow, thrive and make a lasting impact on their organizations’ missions.
Established in 1998, the Apra Margaret Fuhry Award is given to an Apra member committed to the prospect development profession, based on leadership, mentorship and volunteerism. This year’s recipient is Selene Hur, manager of prospect development and research at the YMCA of Greater Toronto. In this interview, Hur speaks with Jeffrey A. Walker, 2004 Fuhry Award awardee, about how she entered the profession, what keeps her inspired, her advice for those new to the PD community and more.
In her first message as Apra President, Anne Brownlee reflects on her 20-year journey with the association — from a first-time Prospect Development attendee to a leader championing Apra’s legacy of invaluable resources. See how the Apra community's spirit of volunteer-driven innovation continues to shape our profession, along with the latest toolkits ready for your exploration.
