How will the Apra Carolinas Road Scholarship help you no matter your level of experience or the size of your organization? Think about this...

Are you about to implement a new prospect management tracking system?

Asking yourself what's the best way to get my fundraisers to objectively review their portfolios before your campaign (I may/may not be thinking of someone in particular with over 500 names in his/her portfolio)?

Wondering how you can start incorporating analytics in your work?

Thinking of "automating" your profiles from always updating word documents?

You've been asked to show ROI for all those referrals you've made (and of course the fundraisers have picked up the phone to call), but you don't know where to start? (Ok, that last one might be me projecting from my old job.)

Or maybe you need some perspective from how "we've always done it this way?"

The “road trip” is a scholarship program to cover travel expenses for a member to spend a day with someone within the Carolinas to learn about processes, procedures, CRM, a specific project, or so forth. One road trip scholarship will be awarded annually. The scholarship will cover travel expenses (gas, meals, and 1 night of lodging) up to $300. The recipient will be asked to write a blog post about his/her road trip experience.
