Thank you to everyone who participated in Hugh Bennett's program on valuing private companies on October 20, and in the Research Basics Bootcamp at Yale University on October 21! Hopefully, you all learned a lot and made some great connections.

The Programming Committee has a full slate of fall programming coming up! On November 10, NEDRA and MIT will be jointly offering a workshop on Unconscious Bias at MIT, presented by Christopher Dial. If you're interested in diversity and inclusion within our organization and our industry, we hope you'll attend. Later that evening, there will be a NEDRA Night Out at Grafton Street Pub & Grill in Harvard Square. Join us to network with your fellow NEDRA members.

On November 29, a Think Tank on the subject of prospect management will be taking place at Harvard University.

On December 9, Smith College will be hosting Speak Up!, a class on public speaking. If you've ever wanted to be able to present at a NEDRA event but weren't confident in your public speaking skills (or if you just want to feel more comfortable presenting at office meetings), this is a great opportunity to build those skills and gain some confidence!

On December 12, our second Research Basics Bootcamp of the fall will be held at Northeastern University.

For more information, and to register for any of these events, see the Upcoming Programs page.
