The Mid-Atlantic Researchers Conference (MARC) was founded in 1998 for professionals involved in data analytics, prospect research and relationship management who are based in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Since that time, it has grown into a robust event with a focus on regional issues, programming and, of course, networking. APRA is a leading authority and expert on fundraising research and is working with Mid-Atlantic chapters to bring the best speakers and topics to the region. In 2014, a New Researchers Symposium will be held prior to MARC on May 27-28 to provide additional resources and support to research professionals with less than two years of experience.
