Message from the President

These are exciting times for the field of educational advancement and for CASE.

• Never before has the advancement profession-alumni relations, communications, fundraising, and marketing-been more vital to schools, colleges and universities around the world.
• Never have advancement professionals been in higher demand or played a more strategic role at their institutions.
• Never has CASE been more valued, as evidenced by record levels of membership, conference attendance, and volunteer engagement.

All of these factors have contributed to CASE becoming the largest association of educational institutions in the world.  But our goal has never been to be the biggest; it has always been to be the best.

• We want to be the best at serving the needs of our individual members with programs that enhance their professionalism and advance their careers.
• We want to be the best at providing our institutional members with the research, benchmarks, and models that ensure the success of their advancement operations.
• We want to be the best at setting the standards and promoting the practices that engender respect for and contribute to the growth of our profession.

To be the best, we need to continuously improve our products and services.  And to continuously improve, we need to hear from you-whether you are a current or prospective member, partner, volunteer, customer, or friend.

Please share with us your ideas on how we can meet our commitment to quality service, fulfill our mission to advance education, and achieve our vision of being the premier association within this noble profession. You can reach us at MemberServiceCenter@case.org.

We look forward to hearing from you and to seeing you at a CASE event in the near future.

Sincerely,
John Lippincott, President
