REGIONAL INTEREST NETWORKING GROUPS (RINGs)

RINGs or Regional Interest Networking Groups are NEDRA programs for creating networking opportunities for prospect researchers. RINGs are locally organized meetings intended to provide informal opportunities to meet and know fellow researchers in your geographic area, or from organizations with a common mission, such as within the arts, higher education, secondary education, social services, or religion. A RING meeting may be a simple get-acquainted session over a brown bag lunch, or it could be a facilitated discussion on a chosen topic.

HOST OPPORTUNITIES: All NEDRA members are welcome to initiate /host a RING meeting, though NEDRA reserves the right to approve of a chosen topic. Hosts are needed for all regions. Please  contact office@nedra.org if you are potentially interested in hosting. Most RINGs have been held as brown-bag lunches, and have been approximately 2 hours in length, but breakfast or evening meetings may also work for your RING.
