  Join us for APRA Great Plains Virtual Office Hours!

  Have you ever wondered how Excel wizards conjure up data and insights by typing what seems like pure gibberish?

  Well, wonder no more!

  Join Chris Copsey, the UNC Health Foundation's Assistant Vice President of Prospect Development, for a fast-paced, fun, and practical session that reveals the top 5 Excel formulas to utilize in Prospect Research/Management.

  By the end of the session, you'll: 

  • Understand the magic behind the key Excel formulas
  • Learn how to apply them in your daily work
  • Walk away feeling like an Excel wizard

  This session is for the formula novice, or if you're looking to sharpen your spreadsheet skills. By the end of the session, you can count yourself as part of the army of Excel users!

  Please note: This session will be recorded.
  The recording will be made available to APRA Great Plains members.

  APRA Great Plains Virtual Office Hours 

  Join us for a feast of ideas! Whether you're stuffing your policies with clarity, baking new procedures from scratch, or garnishing the process table, this is your chance to share, learn, and level up. 

  Expect some screen sharing (you can share, too!), resource swapping, and discussion on a variety of topics, including:

  • Standardizing terminology to unify your team 
  • Who should approve what (and why it matters) 
  • Learning styles and rollout strategies that actually stick 
  • Free vs. paid platforms—what’s working for you?  (written document, video?)   
  • What documentation does your organization have (and use)? What would you like to keep, add, remove? 

  Let’s dish out the best practices that help us reach fundraising goals. Come hungry for knowledge and ready to pass the gravy of wisdom! 

  This event will not be recorded.
