Thank you to everyone who presented, coordinated, hosted, attended and otherwise participated in this year's APRA-NW conference, Bare Essentials in a Bear Economy, at Portland State University. It was great to gather in Oregon for a change (a first!) and inspiring to share our stories of coping in this climate of shrinking budgets and increased demand.

 

Thank you again to Blackbaud Target Analytics for sponsoring the conference and allowing APRA-NW to roll back conference fees.

 

And thanks to Amanda Jarman and Portland State University for hosting, as well as Betsy Cooper and Gwyneth Van Buskirk of Reed College for their immeasurable assistance.

 

 

 

Congratulations to this year's conference scholarship winners: Rose Atkinson, Gene Balk and Maryrose Larkin!
