As we entered the new year, we wanted to know what resources prospect development professionals were keeping an eye on to enhance their professional development. We surveyed a few Apra members and got responses with a little bit of everything. Check out their recommendations and add them to your list!
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 this new series from the Apra Content Development Committee, we take a moment to learn more about the members that make up our community. With thousands of unique stories to tell, this series offers perspectives into individuals’ prospect development (PD) origin stories, crowning achievements of their careers, predictions for the future of the profession and much more. Take a moment and get to know Sloane White, specialist of research and prospect development at Jane Goodall Institute USA (JGI).
