What does it mean to start an alumni program?

What I can do for you in your initial 3-6 months:

• Identify key KPI’s to be able to measure impact of alumni programming.

• Help you with the hiring process and help train your new alumni staff.

Do any of these apply to your organization?

• Your organization has seen a lot of turnover in this department. You need help creating sustainability amongst transition.

• Maybe, you’ve had an excellent program, but it is flatlining with engagement. You need help with assessing change that needs to take place.

• You are an organization merging with another organization. You need help combining programming to figure out what will fit the NEW identity.

What I can do for you in 3-6 months:

• Discovery with leadership team to learn about how you got here with the current programming and where do you want to go with it.

• Identify key KPI’s to be able to measure impact of alumni programming.

• Discovery with existing alumni to learn about deficits and strengths. (surveys, focus groups, interviews)

Creating an Alumni Program with a Donut Hole Budget

*This package is for organizations that want to provide simple and easy ways for alumni to stay connected to the organization

Do any of these apply to your organization?

• Your organization does not have the funds to allocate towards an alumni department.

• Potentially, your facility has hit some rough patches and is looking at budget cuts. You as a leader, understand the importance of Alumni Programming and need help finding a way to keep it.

• You could be a start-up or a program that has been around for a minute and want to test the waters and really see if this is something you should invest in (which you should)!

What I can do for you in your initial 3-6 months:

• Perform an organizational discovery of job duties and decide where can we allocate minimal alumni programming responsibilities

• Leverage free social media platforms to have a community for alumni

• Build out alumni ambassador program for alumni to volunteer and help spearhead programming

• Site visit! (Optional): I will come to campus to be with you all in person to fully engage with your team. Especially when we are working with a mirco budget to create programming, I want to see what we are working with to best leverage your time with me!

Lastly…

I offer One-On-One Coaching packages with your Alumni Staff!

• Assessment of current skills, strengths, and areas for development.

• Ongoing email support between coaching sessions.

• Regular progress tracking and accountability checks.

• Guidance on resources for continued growth and devlopment.

Do I have your attention? Heck yeah!
