Learn how to use a council structure to improve your holistic corporate engagement strategy.
One of the biggest barriers in moving toward a more holistic and centralized corporate engagement strategy is knowing how to bring together disparate efforts, people, and corporate touchpoints across campus to move forward with a more comprehensive relationship with a company. Join us online to learn how to develop a cross-functional group that will help you foster a culture of holistic corporate engagement for your institution.
What is a Corporate Council?
You will learn about how Emory University has established an even better holistic corporate engagement model through an internal working group. This council includes internal representatives from corporate relations, continuing education, athletics, procurement, and each school. Through regular meetings, they have streamlined and further developed holistic corporate relationships.
