Thanks to everyone who joined us for Christopher Dial's presentation on unconscious bias, and the subsequent NEDRA Night Out. Thanks also to everyone who attended the Think Tank on prospect management. Hopefully, everyone came away from each of these events with new ideas and new connections!

The Programming Committee has two more events scheduled before the end of the calendar year. On Friday, December 9, professional speaking coach Susan Daniels will be presenting Speak Up!, a workshop on public speaking, at Smith College. If you've ever been interested in presenting at a conference, or just want to feel more confident and prepared when speaking in meetings, this is a great opportunity to learn how to do so!

On December 12, there will be a Research Basics Bootcamp at Northeastern University. Susan Grivno and Matt Lacroix will be covering all the basics that a new researcher needs to know. If you're new to the field or need to brush up on fundamentals, sign up today!

You can find more details and register for these programs on the Upcoming Programs page.

In the new year, the Programming Committee is working on creating more great educational opportunities. Stay tuned for more information, and remember, if there's a subject you want to know more about, or if you want to share with your fellow researchers on a topic of interest to you, you can submit a Program Proposal any time.
