From mgatlin at uoregon.edu Thu Jul 5 10:46:40 2012 From: mgatlin at uoregon.edu (Mary Gatlin) Date: Thu Jul 5 10:47:02 2012 Subject: [APRA-NW] APRA-NW happy hour in Minneapolis Message-ID: Are you going to APRA International in Minneapolis? Think you'll be ready to escape the hotel by Friday afternoon? Then join us for an informal happy hour gathering at Masa Restaurant at 5pm to 6:30-ish on Friday, August 3rd! Masa is located about a block away from the conference hotel. APRA-NW will be buying a round of drinks and some appetizers for its members, so give your wallet a break and come hang out with us. I'll be heading to Masa as soon as the afternoon session is over. Join me in the main lobby of the Hilton just before 5 to walk over together or meet us at Masa as soon as you can make it. I'm hoping to score some tables outside, but if you don't see us there just check inside in the bar area. RSVP to me (mgatlin@uoregon.edu) if you plan on joining us! www.masa-restaurant.com 1070 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55403 Hope to see many of you in a few weeks! -Mary APRA-NW Board Member & Mentorship Coordinator -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <1CF803848171CC44A98EADFDD8B6306A0CBB47@ad-cc-mbx01> Have you ever thought about valuing private companies? Do you automatically say, 'No way, never!' to gift officers requesting you value a private company? Have you ever agreed to value a private company, then found yourself a little lost? Maybe you regularly review private company information, but could use some new tips. As many of us have experienced, valuing private companies can often be a difficult task. Consider joining our colleagues from UW for an Info Exchange. Bring lots of questions, and expect to take home a better understanding of privately held companies, and whether or not you can incorporate these research techniques at your organization. Valuating Private Companies: Knowing How and When to Dig Deeper When: Monday, August 20, 2012; 9:00-10:00am Where: UW Tower, Ravenna Room (22nd floor) University of Washington 45th and Brooklyn Use metered street parking or pay-by-space stalls in the UW Tower garage; many bus lines stop at 45th and University Contact: Lana Harvey harveyl@u.washington.edu 206.685.6843 Session Description: Aside from what a Google search may tell us or the sometimes inconsistent data Hoover's provides, how else can we gather more information to better evaluate private companies? Evaluating and rating private companies, and in cases the individuals who own them, can have a significant impact on who and how a development officer decides to solicit for a gift. But often, valuing a private company stumps even the most experienced development officers and researchers. With a better understanding of the information that's actually out there and knowing what you can find instead of searching for the impossible, you can reach a determination on whether or not an accurate rating or valuation of a company is possible. Join us for a chance to hear from University of Washington Advancement's research strategists Matt Kujawa and Roger Tang who will discuss some resources to consider, how your fundraisers can be your best intel, and the evolution of private company prospecting and where we are now. Matt and Roger will provide some examples of how they've evaluated companies in the private sector and will also be available to answer the questions you have about this topic. We encourage you to come with questions or feel free to submit your questions ahead of time. Register Today! http://www.apra-nw.org/Default.aspx?pageId=1092815 Free to APRA-NW members and guests!
