Apra Australia invites you to join us for our first virtual lunch and networking session of 2026 to be held on Friday, April 10th at 12:00 pm.
We will be joined by Ruthie Giles, for a special stop on the virtual book tour of Prospect Management: The Essential Guide for a High Functioning Nonprofit Prospect Management System.
Written by Ruthie Giles, the book offers a deep dive into key areas such as portfolio optimization, managing donor pipeline stages, and effectively partnering with gift officers. Ruthie brings clarity, structure, and actionable insights into a critical but often overlooked area of fundraising operations.
During this engaging session, Ruthie will share the story behind writing the book, explain her passion for building sustainable prospect management systems, touch on some key topics from the book, and share her vision for what she thinks is on the horizon for the prospect development field.
Whether you have already read the book or are just discovering it, this is a valuable opportunity to learn more about prospect management. This session includes time for questions and discussion - so please bring your questions, challenges, and curiosity. We will have a lively, practical conversation - and you will walk away with ideas and solutions you can start implementing right away.
Ruthie Giles has worked in prospect research and prospect management since 2000, and is currently a consultant with Staupell Analytics Group.
We hope you can join us for this exciting and instructive presentation.
