Alumni relations has gotten into a groove but that may not be such a good thing. Offering the same programs, following the same procedures as last year (or the past five years) may not work so well in the new era of hyper-connectivity and constant entertainment.
In the never-ending quest to engage alumni (and friends), there seems to be growing interest in affinity or shared interest groups.
Alumni organizations thrive and survive on “meetings” of all types whether leadership training, board meetings, planning meetings or something else (even social events often have a meeting component.)
Every organization looks for talented, capable and prepared leadership. After spending a lot of time on searching and even training, how do we prepare new board members or trustees?
