One of APRA's primary initiatives is to produce and deliver superior educational opportunities and materials to members. To meet the needs of its diverse membership, APRA's educational offerings are varied and comprehensive. Review the Calendar of Events.
APRA's Annual International Conference is the premier fundraising research educational conference. It offers a wide variety of tracks and sessions for the fundraising researcher at every level of professional development. The annual conference is usually held each year in July or August.
The APRA Symposia Series comprises several intense, focused learning opportunities. Symposia feature veteran faculty, low student/instructor ratios and moderate registration fees. Watch for a variety of symposiums for beginning, intermediate and seasoned researchers in the coming months and years.
APRA Virtual Seminars are Web-based, single-topic sessions that professionals can access using a telephone and an Internet connection. APRA LIVE! sessions are 90-minute seminars consisting of 60 minutes of education followed by a 30-minute "Ask the Expert" interactive discussion session facilitated by the virtual seminar presenter. Virtual Seminar Replays allow you to view the 60 minutes of education from previously held APRA LIVE! virtual seminars.
