    No Donor Data Required - Using Generative AI in Your Small Shop 

    About this program:

    New AI tools like Chat GPT are becoming more available along with the concerns about their use regarding donor data. This presentation with Bethany Andorfer Morley, Director of Prospect Research and Strategy at the West Chester University Foundation, will show the many ways Chat GPT and similar AI functions can be used to improve efficiency without needing to hand over donor data or confidential information.

    Attendees will leave with tools for finding creative ways to use AI, including Chat GPT, to help with everything from crafting a tricky email to a co-worker to creating a draft for a new procedure needed for your department. There are many ways to use AI that don't require uploading donor data or confidential information, so join Apra PA for this webinar to learn more!

    About the speaker:


    Bethany Andorfer Morley is the Director of Prospect Research and Strategy at the West Chester University Foundation in West Chester, PA.

    Virtual Roundtable: International Prospects

    Managing and researching international prospect portfolios can pose significant opportunities and challenges for your organization, no matter where you live. How do you help gift officers connect with prospects who live and work abroad? How do you find and confirm international assets? Join a moderator and your fellow prospect development professionals to discuss these topics and more - your questions will guide the conversation! This session will not be recorded.

    Apra PA's Virtual Roundtables are a series of informal sessions that present a topic relevant to the prospect development field. A moderator will lead the discussion but all attendees are encouraged to speak, ask questions, and share their ideas and experiences. To keep the conversation manageable and ensure all voices are heard, we limit roundtable attendance. Roundtables are not recorded.

    When: March 21, 2024 at 3:00 pm EST

    Where: Zoom

    Cost: FREE

    Registration is open exclusively to Apra PA members thru March 13th! Renew your membership here.

    Database Conversion Opportunities & Challenges 

    About this program:

    Database conversions offer great opportunities to review, update and unify processes across your organization. They also can offer great challenges in data cleanup, moving old data to a new configuration, change management, and negotiating vendor contracts and processes. Join Apra PA and Chris Mildner, CFRE, Prospect Research Analyst at The Nature Conservancy, for this presentation which will offer guidance gleaned from six database conversions on how to take advantage of the opportunities and meet the challenges with your sanity and staff intact.

    About the speaker:


    Chris Mildner's development career progressed out of the primordial ooze of hard-copy and dial-up to adventuring in the contemporary terrain of prospect intelligence and data analytics. Currently, she provides prospect development, discovery management, and strategy development for Alaska, Canada, Oregon and Idaho at the Nature Conservancy. Previously, she held prospect research, database management, and donor relations positions at higher ed and healthcare institutions. Chris has survived coordinating all or part of six database conversions with her sanity intact. She has been an author and editor for Apra Connections, has made presentations on a variety of development topics, and has taught the prospect research segment for the AFP CFRE exam prep course. Chris has a B.A. in intercultural and organizational communication from Rutgers University.
