Apra Australia invites you to join us for our upcoming virtual lunch and networking session for Prospect Research professionals in Australia and New Zealand, to be held on Friday, December 5th at 12:00 pm.

We will be joined by Rachel Hammond, Donor Research Coordinator for the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, who will present her recent research work, "From Ancestors to Assets: Unearthing Connections Through Genealogy and Prospect Research".

This session will discuss how genealogical research can enhance donor identification and relationship mapping, and explores who should conduct this research, when it’s most useful, and how it intersects with prospect research. Learn what to look for, why it matters, and which tools can help you uncover and leverage family connections for strategic fundraising.

Rachel Hammond is the donor research coordinator for the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Starting her career in advancement services at her alma mater, Rachel learned the importance of donor cultivation, retention, and engagement as a student caller, call centre manager, and advancement intern, prior to her current role in Prospect Research.

She is the secretary and Communications Chair for the APRA Indiana Board of Directors and the chair of Apra International's Education and Professional Development (EPD) committee.

We hope you can join us for this exciting and instructive presentation.
