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

This program will bring together a small cohort of prospect development professionals, 10-15 individuals.



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.


Cost

The program is free for all accepted applicants. All applicants must be current NEDRA members.


Expectations

A commitment to attending all scheduled 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. 


Program Goals

  • Provide an opportunity for developing professionals to meet and create a network of relationships with similar colleagues at other institutions.

  • Create learning opportunities specifically geared towards junior-level professionals to help them obtain new resources and/or skills. 

  • Familiarize junior-level professionals with potential career path opportunities.

  • Create networking and discussion opportunities for developing professionals with their cohorts and 3-5 Advisors
Program Guides 

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 at  each session, the Program Guides will remain the same and will be available for questions and/or conversation as you go through the program.
