Program Description 

About

The prospect development industry has flourished due in part to the amazing community we have created for ourselves. NEDRA is continuing that tradition with the 3-5 Learning Network. In this communal-based program, participants will learn from esteemed 3-5 Learning Network Advisors and fellow cohort members in 90-minute virtual sessions. Session content will vary but may consist of short presentations or panel discussions on industry topics, followed by active group discussions and networking.

Benefits

This program is a unique opportunity to develop relationships with junior-level professionals in the field who work at other organizations, while learning from seasoned speakers about resources and/or skills that can help add value to your role. 

Who is this program for?

Individuals who have worked approximately 3-5 years in prospect development and who have a general understanding of the development field overall are in the best position to benefit from the program.

Cohort Size
