Alumni Workshops
Guys: I’m thinking of taking my alumni communications biz in a slightly different direction. In addition to providing newsletters/etc. for chapters & alumni groups, I’m planning on doing workshops for IFC/PanHel/NPHC meetings. The focus is going to be dealing w/alumni issues, such as…
• Alumni Assns./Housing Corps.
• Alumni Communications
• Fundraising
• Mentoring
Another workshop I'm considering would deal with fraternity fires - not just the usual "ya gotta get sprinklers, ya know???" message, but something more in depth that deals w/that obvious idea AND how to cope w/the aftermath of that type of tragic event.
In a nutshell, the way I envision my company going is to provide alumni communications materials AND workshops of interest for both UGs and alums alike. I've gotten some positive feedback from Greek advisors I know through AFA & MGCA, so this has piqued my interest.
This is why I'm turning to you. As long-time LCA alums, you've gotten a pretty good idea of what types of subjects we find interesting. Some of these programs could eventually be utilized for future Alumni College programs (ya never know...).
If you have any thoughts on what would constitute a good 60-minute workshop, please send me a PM or drop a line to my regular e-mail address (boz130@comcast.net). Thanks in advance for your help!
Yours in ZAX,
BF
