Program Description About The prospect development industry has flourished due in part to the amazing community we have created for ourselves. NEDRA looks to continue that tradition with our inaugural 3-5 Learning Network. In this communal-based program, participants will learn from esteemed 3-5 Learning Network Advisors and fellow cohorts 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? Geared to individuals who have worked approximately 3-5 years in prospect development and those who have a general understanding of the development field in general. 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 from 12-1:30, 12:30-2 or 3:30-5 depending on the sessions. There may be additional engagement outside of the session in the form of a Slack channel, WhatsApp group to discuss sessions, or additional resources. Cost The program is free for all accepted applicants. All applicants must be current NEDRA members. Expectations A commitment to attending all virtual sessions and being camera-ready. 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
Program Guides The program will have a group of seasoned professionals who will guide you 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. This year’s Program Guides are Steve Grimes, Ruthie Giles, and Elana Pierkowski. 2024/2025 Cohort Session Details and Application Contact Email: 3to5@nedra.org
