Join us in Fort Wayne this June for Apra Indiana’s biggest event of the year! The skills workshop provides two tracks of content for everyone from development professionals at small organizations who want to dig deeper into the field to seasoned researchers from large institutions. Choose one track or feel free to move between basic and advanced tracks to attend whatever sessions interest you most.
We are excited to have Apra International past president Karen Isble join us as our keynote speaker. We are also featuring seven other presenters who will share their knowledge related to prospect research, data analytics, relationship management, and campaigns.
This year's workshop has been approved for 5.75 CFRE credits!
