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, as well as shorter optional Zoom meetings for networking. 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 This program will bring together a small cohort of prospect development professionals, 10-15 individuals. How It Works The sessions will begin with a panel discussion or presentation from a 3-5 Learning Network Advisor(s), which will last approximately 45 minutes. The remaining 45 minutes will be spent in open networking and discussion among the cohorts, the 3-5 Learning Network Advisor(s), and the Program Guides. Time Commitment Sessions are held roughly once a month during the work week. There will be additional engagement opportunities outside of the session in the form of a WhatsApp group to discuss sessions, and optional Zoom sessions for networking. Cost The program is free for all accepted applicants. All applicants must be current NEDRA members. Expectations A commitment to attending six virtual sessions and being camera-ready, and to share your contact information with the cohort for networking purposes. You will not only learn from the 3-5 Learning Network Advisors, but also from each other as you share your own ideas and experiences. Attending the additional networking Zoom sessions is highly encouraged. Program Goals
The program will have a group of seasoned professionals who will guide participants throughout the sessions. While the 3-5 Learning Network Advisors will vary each week, the Program Guides will remain the same and will be available for questions and/or conversation as you go through the program. 2025/2026 cohort application is now open.
