Alumni Relations Discussion Series: Managing and Motivating Talent

Last updated November 29, 2023

Share and discuss effective strategies to recruit, motivate, and retain your staff in hybrid work environments.

Overview

Alumni relations professionals have experienced numerous significant changes in recent years. Faced with challenges such as communicating value to other areas of the shop, managing talent and volunteers in a hybrid work environment, interpreting new sources of data and metrics, and continuously adapting strategy to forge more meaningful connections with alumni, many need a space to step back, reflect, and exchange ideas with peers.    

Join us for an online series to discuss hot topics facing alumni relations professionals just like you. You’ll have space to share pressing concerns, questions, and current practices with others in the field in anticipation of what’s next for the alumni relations profession.  

Each session will be facilitated by our expert panel:  

  • Megan Stevens, Assistant Vice President for Annual Giving and Alumni Engagement, Stevens Institute of Technology 
  • Nancy Merritt, Vice Chancellor for Alumni Relations, University of Pittsburgh 
  • Lauren Villanueva, Vice President for Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving, Syracuse University 

Collectively, they bring 30+ years of experience to the table as leaders/supervisors of alumni relations professionals.
