APRA-IN Spring Conference

April 23, 2004

The Spring Conference was once again a resounding success.  Great speakers, great meal, great location...there isn't a whole lot more to ask for!  The program committee should feel free to pat themselves on the back for a conference well done.

The conference consisted of three tracks: a two part series on Financial Research, a Prospect Identification and Qualification session and a session on Creating and Running a Prospect Management System. The morning sessions were conducted by Charles Headley, from P!N, Becky Fry from Purdue University and Vicky Martin from IU Foundation. Charles Headley began the first part of his two part finance series by presenting on public company executive financial research. Becky Fry and Vicky Martin presented on the processes involved with identifying prospects and then qualifying them for use by fundraising institutions.

The afternoon session, finished up with the second half of the finance series and a session on running a Prospect Management System. Charles Headley concluded his series by presenting on private company executive financial research. Jennifer Cooper, from Vanderbuilt University, talked about instituting the components necessary for developing and running a successful Prospect Management system.
