SUMMARY:Across the Divide: An Apra Talks Debate
DESCRIPTION:This moderated debate will explore differing viewpoints on management structures\, wealth screening\, public data\, vendor reliance\, due diligence\, and established professional best practices—bringing to light the real tradeoffs behind the choices we make every day. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will discuss how these topics influence prospect identification\, qualification\, portfolio strategy\, fundraiser support\, and ethical decision-making. Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on how familiar practices operate within their own organizations—and where those practices may need to adapt to meet changing expectations. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of current issues in prospect development\, along with practical ways to assess whether their own approaches remain effective\, ethical\, and aligned with fundraising goals. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDan Zarlenga\, American Cancer Society\, Vice President of Prospect Development\n\n\n\nJen Filla\, Aspire Research Group LLC\, CEO\n\n\n\nNedra Newton-Jones\, University of Georgia\, Executive Director of Research and Prospect Management\n\n\n\nKristin Richardson\, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, Associate Vice President\, Development Services\n\n\n\nElizabeth Schmidt-Gullett\, University of Cincinnati Foundation\n\n\n\nTeri Brickey\, University of Tennessee Foundation Inc.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nSharise Harrison\, California State University – Sacramento\, Assistant Vice President\, Advancement Services
