Shameless Self Promoting for Prospect Researchers

Inside most development organizations Prospect Research rarely is part of the leadership structure that it should be. Usually it's several layers down the org chart and not fully understood, underused and even not respected by many field development officers. This is a historic issue with being a Prospect Researcher, lower pay and lower authority. Successful development organizations rely on key data produced by strong and empowered Prospect Research teams. Instead of sitting around at APRA and complaining ...do something about it internally.  How can you promote your department and work inside of a larger development organization?
